  • This page is a nice way to see headlines for various topics.

    https://brutalist.report/?limit=15

    You can make an account and choose the sources you want and how many titles to show. That link will show 15 titles from each source. The titles refresh often, so it stays fresh.

    Edit: Actually, I just compared the page before and after I logged in and I’m not sure if you can customize the sources. I’m not sure what the account actually does. If you want to specify your sources, I like using this online RSS reader: https://theoldreader.com/

    I’ve been using since Google got rid of their reader. This one is sort of a copy. The site holds the RSS feeds that you enter, and there is an Android app that will let you sign in an view from mobile. I think the app is called gReader.








  • If you are comfortable with using command line stuff, I found this little Python script perfect for my needs. I copied my subscriptions from my original instance to two others:

    https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

    I don’t know enough programming to know whether the tool could be stealing my authentication, but my passwords are random and I don’t really care if anything happens to those.

    Edit: You have to run this when the servers are actually functioning. I was migrating my stuff away from my lemmy.world account because of the overloading there, and the server was pretty slow while it was copying my subscriptions. I ran it again an hour later and it picked up the few subscriptions it missed on the first pass. It’s smart enough to check if the new server has a particular community subscription already in place.
