  There's probably more of them but if you look at the html (browsers used to have an icon for this...) there's a <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="rss"> tag in there on the home page, so https://news.ycombinator.com/rss https://news.ycombinator.com/rss should be the feed

  Hacker News’ RSS feed is here → https://news.ycombinator.com/rss https://news.ycombinator.com/rss Unfortunately, it only includes the title and the submission’s link, no content, which makes it a bit useless if your intension is to read the articles and not just the titles, which you can already do by visiting the home page. Some people have created complementary RSS feeds like this → https://github.com/cixtor/rssfeed#readme https://github.com/cixtor/rssfeed#readme which basically take the submission’s URL, download the web page, and removes the irrelevant HTML tags using Mozilla’s Readability.js library. Although, this project uses a Go (golang) port: https://github.com/go-shiori/go-readability#readme https://github.com/go-shiori/go-readability#readme . It seems to work quite well, with minor bugs here and there due to inconsistencies of modern web development.

Me too where I use inoreader for my feeds. I really can’t imagine consuming content any other way. Agree when Google reader died then a lot of webpages cut off support.

I get the RSS feed of Hacker News via Feedbin, but only as a backup; I find it much more pleasant to log on to the website once or twice a day and browse.
