Certain websites provide web feeds or news feeds in RSS, Atom, or JSON format. News aggregators can check these feeds for updates allowing the user to subscribe to a blog or podcast.

## Obtaining web feeds

Even if a website does not advertise a web feed, it might still provide one. Try appending `/feed` or `/rss` to the URL. If that fails, open the website's source code by pressing `Ctrl+u` and then `Ctrl+f` to search for `<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml"` or `<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"`. The Firefox addon Awesome RSS adds a clickable icon to the address bar if a web feed is available.

If a website does not provide a feed, try RSS-Bridge.

The following sections describe how to obtain feeds for certain websites.

### GitHub

Commits feeds use the following syntax:

    https://github.com/user/repo/commits/branch/path/to/subdir.atom

### Reddit

Reddit provides feeds for subreddits, posts and users: simply add `.rss` to the URL. If you have a Reddit account, you can find your personal feeds in the preferences.

### YouTube

Subscribe to a channel:

    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If the channel has a legacy URL ending in `/user/username`, you can also use:

    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=username

You can download your subscriptions list from Google Takeout and convert it to OPML using [1].
