Find a RSS aggregator that you like and add the RSS feeds of websites you enjoy going to. I’m assuming most have the ability to search websites based off topics to help you get started.

The feed will show you every update those websites makes automatically.

There’s no comments or frivolous things. Just headlines, images and text of the webpage.

It’s a nice reprieve from social media.

Fark.com is a really great news agitator and community

It’s similar but different to Lemmy and Reddit in many significant and interesting ways

Fark.com

Time is a flat circle…

I never went on Digg, but Fark is what I used pre-reddit.

Me too. After years away, I poked in on it. It was a Saturday, and the Caturday thread looked just like the last one I had seen, many years before. Seemed strange.

I feel like that was autocorrect, but it’s hilarious.

There was also slashdot back in the day, although I haven’t checked it out in a while.

Hackernews is still great and there’s an app (Harmonic).

But the last time I actually looked up a porn performer who seemed cool, it turned out she was a raging transphobe who would want to kill half my housemates. :(
