I've seen a lot of people praising RSS feeds over standard news. What benefits does RSS have over normal news sites? Are they more privacy-focused?

What feeds would you recommend for a fellow Lemmy user?

I'd like to throw a bunch of web comics into my RSS reader so that I could get a steady drip of new comics every day or whatever. But I'd rather start from the beginning for most of them. Especially ones that follow some kind of story. Anyone know of any tools that would convert a long history of comics to an updating RSS feed but start at the beginning?

Ooh I'd be interested in that too. Then again, never a bad time to start some comic series.

This is what stops me from subscribing to a lot of web comics

Why not sort from oldest? Wouldn't that work well enough?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That would work.. if the RSS feed had every post since the beginning.

That's a good point. I forgot about that part.
