One thing is: I don’t. That is, if I like a site and it has an RSS feed or feeds I put them in my reader. If not, I can’t be bothered going to the site. Why?

- because who knows if it has updated. - if there are two or three posts since my last visit I can’t tell at a glance

Basically if ppl can’t be bothered to put out an RSS feed they can’t be bothered having me as a reader. That’s ok; there’s plenty to read, and not everybody needs to cater to my wishes.

I just subscribe to the hacker news telegram robot (@hnrobot). All the updated posts and articles are just posted there on one page. Really convenient.

I also collated some of these sites that I think are really useful and segregated them based on their domains. Hope it is of great use for you readers! (:

I will pretty much list the sites I visit daily.

Google News (I couldn't find a clutter free alternative that gives an easy snapshot of news about India/world)

Brief (aka Morning Reader)

https://overcast.fm (I listen to podcasts from the web app when on the computer, I wish they had a native desktop app)

https://theoldreader.com (I've given up on Mac RSS reader apps)

Twitter, Reddit, Some private trackers, https://lobste.rs, MeFi, Vimeo, IMDb (almost daily)

And yes, wikipedia :)
