Thought it might be interesting to share, so below it goes.

Feel free to suggest any more!

RSS search/lookup tools
  • RSSHub Radar - browser extension that tries to find RSS links in pages currently being looked at.

  • RSS Lookup - the site looks up for feeds in the page that loads by the link the user provides, and as a bookmarklet looks up for feeds in the current tab.
Unofficial ones

  • RSS bridges for Twitter - Nitter, which has multiple independent instances; example 1, example 2, example 3. Append /rss to the end of a profile’s base link or get the link directly from the RSS button in the top right.


  • RSS bridge for select sites without native feeds - RSS愛好会
Fediverse instances
  • Lemmy - At the top of any given community, copy the link from the RSS feed button to the side of the filter and sorting options. Lemmy only hosts local feeds, so getting the link of e.g. an ani.social community through lemmy.world will grant you an ani.social feed, not a lemmy.world bridge.

  • Mastodon tags - Go to the page of a given tag, e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse, and add .rss to the end of the link, so in the example, https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse.rss. Unlike users (see right below), tag RSS tracks external posts.

  • Mastodon users - Go to the main page of a given profile, e.g. https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon, and add .rss to the end of the link, so in the example, https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon.rss. Akin to Lemmy, only tracks local profiles.

  • Mbin - Each feed (list of posts) has an RSS feed at the bottom of the sidebar, in the RSS hyperlink right above Powered by Mbin. Allows tracking remote communities too, and after an update, added the possibility of tracking threads, microblog, both at the same time, and domains (and yet to check if users too).

  • Misskey - Same as Mastodon, add .rss to the end of a profile’s base link. Allows tracking remote profiles.

  • NodeBB - for categories, simply add .rss to the end of the link (e.g. https://billboard.bsd.cafe/category/5.rss); for topics, remove anything past the topic ID and append .rss, e.g. https://billboard.bsd.cafe/topic/4.rss for https://billboard.bsd.cafe/topic/4/welcome-to-the-freebsd-section.

  • Peertube channels - for one of the feed variants, in a given channel’s main page, click on the arrow to the side of the “Subscribe” button, and in the dropdown menu, get the RSS link from “Subscribe via RSS”; for the other variants, when available, in the same page, look for “Subscribe to RSS feed” (ctrl f if you can’t find), and get the format you want from the RSS icon’s dropdown menu to the right. Unfamiliar how Peertube handles remote profiles.

  • Peertube users - go to the user’s page, https://{domain_name}/a/{user_id}/video-channels, click on “Subscribe to all channels” and click or right-click “Subscribe via RSS”.

  • PieFed - In a given community, get the RSS link from the RSS feed hyperlink in the sidebar. Allows tracking remote communities.

  • Bandwagon - With a profile’s link, e.g. https://bandwagon.fm/@some_user, add /feed?format=atom, /feed?format=rss or /feed?format=json at the end of the link, whichever you prefer. Alternatively, go to the page’s source (on Gecko browsers, e.g. Firefox, Ctrl U or by adding view-source: to the beginning of links), look for the links with /feed?format=, and get the link or links you want/need.
Fediverse bots
  • Fediverse bot, RSS Parrot - Instructions on the site. Tested making a feed on both Mbin and Mastodon, but only worked in the latter. After that, users can have a fediverse-provided RSS feed through Misskey, as explained in the section above.

  • Fediverse bot to Bluesky, and vice-versa, @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy / Bluesky counterpart - Instructions on the bot’s bio. Works on Mastodon but not on Mbin (known by the dev). Then to follow the generated account through RSS, for the Bluesky one, use Bluesky’s RSS (instructions in the section below), and for the fediverse one, follow through Misskey’s RSS (instructions in the Fediverse section above)

  • Fediverse instance for RSS bots, Ibbit, successor of Pondercat (RIP) - Meta community (@meta@ibbit.at) used (also) for requesting new feeds to be tracked, according to its sidebar. Once included, users can have fediverse-provided RSS feeds through Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed and Misskey, as explained in the Fediverse section above.

  • Linux APT package feed2toot: Ubuntu Packages link. From the description, “automatically parses rss feeds, and posts entries to the fediverse”.
Other forums/blogs/microblogs
  • ArtStation - Use https://someuser.artstation.com/rss, changing someuser for the ID of a given user found in its link.

  • Bluesky - Add /rss to the end of a given profile’s base link.

  • DeviantArt - Use https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?type=deviation&q=by%3Asomeuser+sort%3Atime+meta%3Aall, changing someuser for the ID of a given user found in its link.

  • Reddit - Using old.reddit.com, add .rss to the end of user or subreddit links, e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/.rss and https://old.reddit.com/user/spez/.rss

  • Medium - Add /feed right after the domain, e.g. https://medium.com/feed/@someexample

  • Pixiv - Only for official news from the site. Go to https://www.pixiv.net/info.php and pick the global feed link and/or the subsection links you want from the respective signal icons acting as hyperlinks.

  • Tumblr - for profiles with the link pattern https://some_user.tumblr.com/ and custom links (e.g. https://satw.us/), add /rss at the end of the link, e.g.https://some_user.tumblr.com/rss and https://satw.us/rss

  • VGMdb (forums) - Need to check again, but previously could only find some feeds through the page’s source (on Gecko browsers, e.g. Firefox, Ctrl U or by adding view-source: to the beginning of links).
Other sites that have feeds due to their underlying engines
  • Both Blogger and Livedoor (ライブドアブログ)-powered sites - Go to the page’s source, e.g. Gecko’s Ctrl U or view-source:, and look for the feed links right after rss+xml and atom+xml mentions (two different types of feeds, so pick the one/ones you want/need).

  • Discourse-powered forums (e.g. RetroPie’s, and these forums look kinda the same) - forum categories and posts both have a (small) RSS button, the former to the side of the category’s name at the top, and the latter to the side in the statistics right below the post’s name at the top.

  • Wordpress-powered sites - By default include RSS options for new posts and comments in their source codes, so Gecko’s Ctrl U or view-source: again.
Steam (community, store, etc.), because it has an excessive amount of feeds
  • Steam group announcements (News Hub) - Use https://store.steampowered.com/feeds/news/group/<group-id>, e.g. for Steam Client Beta with ID 4397053, https://store.steampowered.com/feeds/news/group/4397053

  • Steam group announcements (Steam Community) - get the link from the button at the sidebar of the announcements tab, or more guaranteed since a variant interface doesn’t show it, using the group’s base link (e.g. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/somegroup), add /rss at the end.

  • Steam game news (News Hub) - Use https://store.steampowered.com/feeds/news/app/<app_id>/, e.g., for Dota 2 with app ID 570, https://store.steampowered.com/feeds/news/app/570/

  • Steam game news (Steam Community) - Use https://steamcommunity.com/games/<app_id>/rss/, e.g., for Starbound with app ID 211820, https://steamcommunity.com/games/211820/rss/

  • Steam general news (News Hub) - Use https://store.steampowered.com/feeds/news.xml
Other stores, store-adjacent and catalogue-esque sites

  • xkcd - Use whichever you want of https://xkcd.com/rss.xml and https://xkcd.com/atom.xml

  • クラゲバンチ - From my experience, RSS button for a given series is included in any of the series’ chapters.

  • Youtube, option #3 - go to a given channel’s main page (https://youtube.com/channel/some_code, https://youtube.com/@some_channel) open the page’s source, e.g. on Gecko browsers like Firefox, Ctrl U or by adding view-source: to the beginning of the link, look for application/rss+xml (Ctrl F helps) and get the link that comes right after.

    Just found out Bandwagon (part of the fediverse) has RSS feeds. They’re obfuscated, but looking at the downloaded files, they seem fine. =)

    Removed but keeping here for the sake of preservation:

    • Steam curators - Use https://store.steampowered.com/feeds/curator/<curator-id>/, e.g. for “Games at risk of removal” with ID 31857481, https://store.steampowered.com/feeds/curator/31857481/

    Removed because these feeds don’t seem to be working, pulling Steam’s general news feed instead.

    Rewrote:

    • Fediverse bot to Bluesky, and vice-versa, @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy / Bluesky counterpart - Instructions on the bot’s bio. Works on Mastodon but not on Mbin (known by the dev). Then to follow the generated account through RSS, for the Bluesky one, use Bluesky’s RSS (instructions in the section below), and for the fediverse one, follow through Misskey’s RSS (instructions in the Fediverse section above)

    Old version:

    • Fediverse bot to Bluesky, and vice-versa, @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy / Bluesky counterpart - Instructions on the bot’s bio. Testes on both Mbin and Mastodon, but doesn’t appear to work on the former. Then follow the Bluesky mirror for the account through Bluesky’s RSS (instructions in the section below), and the fediverse mirror for the account through Misskey (instructions in the Fediverse section above)
