I'm looking for recommendations for app based/nice mobile friendly sites (free ideally, but I'd consider subscription) that can help me keep across news in the tech/UX/design space.

I'm somewhat reliant on my LinkedIn (which is such a toilet and usually just ends up annoying me) for news/emerging issues etc that affect my industry - the main reason being I can scroll through and open things of interest.

I've subscribed to newsletters/bookmarked sites but I just never seem to get round to reading them. Countless emails just stack up sitting unread.

My theory is if it's something I can just look through on my phone when I'd otherwise be doomscrolling, that I'll be more likely to read things.

My work is in the content strategy/design space and I'm in Australia - so bonus points if it has relevance to me in that way. Thanks all!

Edit to add - I used to use Twitter too, but you know... Just no.

A looooong time ago I remember using Google reader (which I understand to be dead and gone). Do sites even use RSS anymore? How do you access them?

[-] imattau@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Almost all sites have an RSS feed...

https://rss.com/blog/ as some advice on finding them...

Even a lot of fediverse platforms e.g Mastodon have RSS ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks! I guess I thought of them as part of a bygone era, likely because most of the sites I've worked on haven't had one.

Pretty sure all lemmy communities also have an RSS feed. Look for the icon at the top near the question mark.

Fediverse is probably an rss goldmine.

Good tip, thanks!

I use them for podcasts, is that the same thing?

[-] Blaze@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, they can be used for both!
