I’m especially curious about news articles as those have a very short window for when they would be interesting/relevant. As apposed to a meme someone could have saved for years and it will still be funny. Like do you have specific news sites you frequent or RSS feeds or what?

    Take a look at the websites that posts you like link to and then check them out yourself regularly or use RSS as you mentioned.

    Or just steal submissions from Reddit IDK

        The dream would be that I could sort them into a feedreader and select articles out but that won’t happen. Nor would I want a bot doing it either.

        Unfortunately, no one else posts so for the meantime, I just have to keep going or let it die.

          Yeah, I’m in a similar boat with some of the communities I’m trying to start. But I did it before with a subreddit and it was similar. It was a very very long time of only me posting before other people joined in. But with Lemmy it seems to be going a bit faster at least. I’m sure slowly over time more and more people will join and find their niches. Good luck!

    I’ve been using Ground News for a while for things news related. It’s a news aggregator that sorts things according to factuality and bias, and I’ve found it to be pretty fair overall. It even lets you override the bias settings of certain publications if you disagree with the ones set by default.

          For news and search I have no idea. But I’ve been moving email, calander, drive, and password manager over to Proton. Im just starting with it but you definitely give up some convenience for the peace of mind.

    News apps, RSS feeds and online communities.

    Apple News is decent in that you can pick and choose your interests and hide certain news sources. Associated Press AP News app is great too. I’m in Canada so I also have the CBC and CTV apps. For RSS, I use Feedly app. It has a good discovery mechanism but most the time I manually add urls of sites I want to follow.

    Other than that, I get shared links in different slack workspaces and discord servers.
