I love RSS for this. I go to one RSS aggregator that I self-host (trivial, via FreshRSS [1]) that has subscriptions to things like: Fun: comics, pictures, APOD, some hobby reddit threads (fun fact: reddit presents pretty much anything including search queries as RSS if you append .rss) Journals: professional journals in my field Local: Neighborhood blogs, local news, utility company blog, local police crime notes, we…

Out of curiosity... Does anyone use the rss reader in MS Outlook? I know MS is supposed to pack a lot of features to catch as much audience as possible, but are there enough people still using it to this day?

I used it for a few years to access rss feeds from non-public internet routable jira servers. It was pretty nice to monitor new issues across lots of projects.

it's actually RSS to kindle epub, where each feed/folder becomes it's own chapter, and a cron job bundles it up into a daily auto-delivery.

Thanks, did some digging myself and just found Calibre too can retrieve and send them as epubs, but this service might be better since it doesn't need to have my computer turned on.

Really just two: /r/politics and /r/news.

Why is this downvoted? You might not think these are good sources, but they are this person's valid answer to the Ask HN question. We shouldn't be using downvotes like that.

Potentially people reading it as trolling. It made me chuckle.
