Friendica fact of the day: you can follow pretty much any website out there, including youtube channels, twitter feeds, you name it. All via RSS. So find the RSS address of any website (usually they link to that on the website) and paste it into the contacts form where you normally add contacts. Then follow.

You can also use a trade-free service like rss.trom.tf/ to grab the RSS for those that have none.

So, join us via social.trom.tf :) and follow any RSS source. Easy.

My university didn't have an RSS address or any other way of notifying people they uploaded some vital info that could get people banished if they didn't read it.
I remember I made a feed for myself via some website that allowed me to select which parts of the website should be monitored, and used a discord bot to notify me if something new was uploaded, with a photo, title, description and link ^^
RSS is a valuable little piece of technology
