Ask HN: A less intense HN RSS feed?

Posted by emptyparadise on Saturday November 05, 2022 @02:57PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I follow HN over RSS, but it seems like the feed has everything that at any point hits the front page.

Are there any less intense ways to follow the links that pop up here, whatever 'less intense' might mean to you? Maybe just posts that hit the top 10, maybe only posts that linger on the front page for a certain amount of time.

I use hnapp.com to make multiple custom RSS feeds with specific point ranges. I only read the highest ranked feeds that I have time for.

This isn't a perfect solution, I miss a lot of interesting stuff that doesn't reach my point threshold and it isn't as smart as the frontpage algorithm, but it is what I've had to do to be able to follow Hacker News.

See https://hnrss.github.io/

Filtering on points or comments will cut off the long tail.
