Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

NPR has some good feeds but you can use Google's RSS features for many things that may not have an official feed:
https://news.google.com/rss
Edit: you can also convert the JSON that Lemmy's API outputs to RSS.
Can you further explain your comment in the edit please?
Not sure what OP is referring to but it looks like lemmy has a built in RSS feed for each community that can be found next to the sort drop down
ex: https://beehaw.org/feeds/c/chat.xml?sort=Active so if you wanted to pull posts in you could do that as well.
Can that be found anywhere in the android app - or is it desktop only?
I haven't tried any of the apps but it will appear if you use your mobile browser. Hopefully that's helpful!
Edit: I'm using connect.
Oh there's an RSS system? I've been playing around with the JSON API and RSS is just another data format like XML so I figured it would be nice to point out that it can just be converted.
Totally! Yeah I haven't tried it but it appears to be built into every community which is pretty sweet.
You can use the API to get JSON and convert it to RSS but I wasn't aware that Lemmy already has an RSS system.
