an idiot's guide to using nostr as a (basic) RSS reader (written by an idiot)

a very quick guide on setting up nostr as a basic RSS reader

Step 1:

find the RSS feeds you want to follow

(Right click on the website's page, and choose Page Source. In the new window that appears, use the β€œfind” feature and search 'rss')

some websites will have a standard format eg. substack add '/feed' at the end of the URL. You can even have RSS feeds of YouTube channels;)

Step 2:

Go to atomstr.data.haus

Add at least one of the following relays to your nostr account to read the feeds:

wss://nostr.data.haus

wss://relayable.org

wss://relay.highlighter.com

Step 3:

add your RSS feed URLs to atomstr

(you can also 'find' existing feeds people have already added to atmostr)

Step 4:

open the link to the generated RSS nostr accounts in Nostrudel and Follow

Step 5:

Clicking on Follow in Nostrudel also brings up Lists you have created to sort your RSS feeds

or select New List to make a ..new list

DONE

(these lists will also show up on other clients that support Lists eg Amethyst where it will show up on homescreen clicking on All Follows dropdown)
