   @pluralistic @OrionKidder Even if the site has no RSS icon, there's still possibility it has a feed. There are browser extensions that help to locate it, for example Awesome RSS or Want My RSS (and more).

     @brie @pluralistic @OrionKidder All the feed readers I've used (these days, Feedly) will discover if there's an RSS feed if I just paste the website URL, no need to dredge up the actual RSS URL. I do most stuff on my phone, so this is how I check if a site has RSS. And they often do! (And if it doesn't, but has a mailing list, I use Kill the Newsletter.)

     @kainino0x @brie @pluralistic @OrionKidder This surprised me when I started using RSS feeds again recently. *A lot* of sites have an RSS feed and they don't even indicate that they do; you have to just paste their URL into your reader and see if it works (or use a browser extension like you said).

     I was one of those people who thought that RSS was dead because you never see the icon anymore. Turns out it's just not promoted like it once was.
