Honestly, just set up an RSS feed. The internet is a bunch of isolated echo-chambers where you self-select into the chamber with the narrative you favor.

I think almost all RSS feeds are just news aren't they? Maybe there is some collection of rss from personal blogs that are interesting to follow?

It can be news on topics you're interested in, blogs on topics you're interested in, comics, subreddits, etc. To give an idea, I follow:
Depending on your RSS app, you can also follow podcasts. I use InoReader for the above but I prefer a dedicated podcast app. There's good/entertaining RSS feeds on the internet if you're willing to curate it! It's nice to get away from internet comments.

Here's a collection of awesome RSS feeds I know about. I'm not too familiar with other lists but perhaps others are?

Found a nice list of resources for RSS. The internet really does feel like an echo-chamber now! There is so much noise to signal. Hopefully this post helps reduce the echoing a tad. I would love if you shared some tips for getting started with RSS if that's alright!

Recommend? None.
Find something you like. Format, UI, etc. I'm partial to the old early 2000s vBulletin forum format.

Is lobsters similar to tildes?
cheese_greater@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Ya, altho I dont feel as comfortable commenting or posting there cuz they're a bit intense and it doesn't like humor as much in my limited experience. I like that I have an account but my engagement is much more limited there.
can@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
Which are you referring to? Less comfortable on tildes or lobsters?
cheese_greater@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 1y
Lobsters. I feel at home on basically every other platform altho I'm a bit more serious on HN but I'm just a bit uneasy on Lobsters. Prefer to lurk there, i do plenty of engagement elsewhere to the point its actually kind of nice to shut the hell up once in a while I supposeš¤
Edit: having said that, the quality of discourse is quite high and you learn a lot from it. I'm sure if I cleaned things up a lot I'd be fine but I like to be quiet on there and just lurk

Thank you. I don't have an invite to lobsters but never thought about just browsing not signed in.

Following. There's a forum for everything - or almost everything.
However, one gap that I'm aware of - I've not found a forum (or even fediverse magazine/community) for third culture kids. There were some in the past, but AFAIK they've all gone defunct by now.
