I wish there were more articles about tech not tech biz

Just seems like everything is "this company did this to their employees" and less about "this novel messaging protocol offers these measured pros and cons." Or similar

And yes, I could post things, but I'm referring to what hits the top, 12h.

Can anyone rec communities with less of a biz and politics and wfh vs in-office vibe?

I like hacker news but have had trouble figuring out how to actually like...follow it. There is a shitty Android app. They don't have an RSS feed best I can tell. How does one actually consume it?

Hacker News has an RSS feed at https://news.ycombinator.com/rss. They have a tag in the main page to point to it but browsers don't really surface that anymore I guess?

They also have like different filtered feeds for things with like a certain number of votes or something, which I have seen people using.

Maybe that's what it is then. I don't see it on the main page and their FAQ didn't list it either.

Regardless, thanks for the link! I'll drop that into my RSS reader.

There's a Firefox addon to fix that. It's called RSSPreview, but besides providing previews it also adds a little button to the address bar on sites that have tags like that so you can find the feeds in the first place.

You could just use !hackernews@derp.foo

I know it's a bot driven community but somehow they actually pulled it off. Lemmy users are actually leaving comments and voting over there.

There's also !hackernews@lemmy.smeargle.fans but it seems like a less active version of the same thing

I use Harmonic It has a pretty decent ui, but i use web version if i want to search something
