I tried building an RSS library feature for a side project (https://beavergrow.com), mostly as a way to curate feeds I actually enjoy reading. It quickly highlighted how fragile the RSS ecosystem has become Feedburner gone, Google slowly de-emphasizing RSS, and discovery being the hardest part now.

RSS still feels like one of the few genuinely user-controlled ways to follow the web, but keeping it usable today seems to depend almost entirely on community curation. Curious how others here handle feed discovery now.

But seriously, Mastodon, etc. are cool, but there's gotta be a way we can augment RSS to get most of what we want?
