Hi,
I have a mastodon account and would like to follow some newspapers with that. I just did, but the newspapers are posting so much that my whole timeline is just spammed with their posts. Often also stuff I am not interested in.
Is anyone else here following newspapers on mastodon? How are you handling the spam?

News sites are better to consume via RSS feeds. Check out openrss.org that has feeds for a lot of websites. There are even RSS feeds for Mastodon and Lemmy.
There is no need to go through openrss.org for this.

There is if you want RSS feeds for things like Lemmy search. And if you want the links in feed items to be associated with a single instance. AFAIK, regular Lemmy feeds dont provide that. But ofc people can use Lemmy feeds if they want.
I think normal Lemmy feeds are all associated with the instance. What do you mean by Lemmy search? I know RSS has been around for ages but I'm always keen to make more use of it!
You can get an RSS feed for a Lemmy search term e.g.

Ooh that's a cool one, cheers!
