I wish Lemmy let you follow or block entire websites. I’d follow Al Jazeera, France24, 404 Media, and a few local papers from my country so my feed isn’t just US news. I’d probably block most US national outlets.
What sites would you follow or block?
There are already dozens of decent feed aggregators, and I’m not interested in Lemmy tacking on functionality that’s superfluous to social media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators
Or do you mean follow or block posted links to sites? That functionality already partially exists at the admin level. We can block posts of URLs to specific domains. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4514
There’s already a ticket for per-user URL blocklists: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4689
Piefed has this, but you can’t follow websites only block them, but I prefer RSS for news I don’t get my news from the Fediverse
Use RSS
I probably wouldn’t.
From the first RSS feeds onwards I have found that anytime I curate a list like this, 6 weeks later I am ignoring the entire thing. Either the individual feeds contained a few items of interest that one time, but basically nothing since, or else there are a lot of interesting items - but they are buried in a tidal wave of uninteresting ones.
Make a community and fill it with rss feed bots.
I tried this, it got banned.
