If it makes you feel better, I consume all my blog content through RSS. I use the Newsblur.com aggregator to follow roughly 200 RSS feeds.
I find it sad that a lot of blogs that support RSS (like all the blogs on Substack) don't even post their RSS URLs. You just have to know they're there. (For Substack, append "/feed" to the site's URL to get the RSS feed. Appending "/feed" or "/rss" works for many other sites too.)
Maybe, in addition to displaying an RSS icon, you can add a link underneath such as "How to subscribe to this blog with RSS".
- kevincox 4y agoSubstack supports auto-discovery which is the "best" way to do it. You can just paste article URLs into your feed reader and it will find the feed for you. Of course this was a lot better when browsers had built-in indicators that a feed was available. But for those "in the know" there are extensions which restore this functionality.
- stop50 4y agomy biggest problem is that many sites don't publish rss urls. so it (on comic sites) an problem to find the correct url.
