Recently, I’ve been thinking of skipping over posts from the people I usually read the most, I haven’t actually done it that much though, because I feel weird about it.
Right now, especially because of Blaugust, my feeds are being bombarded by new blogposts everyday, this means that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take some measures and ensure my head doesn’t get overwhelmed by all the words being written and published online for me to read.
I’ve done one or two things to organize my feeds, and I’ve seen other people like Matt judging blogposts by their titles and skipping through the rest.
In my case, it’s not a matter of leaving things as unread, I don’t really care about that at all. Actually, right now there are 3,612 unread articles in my FreshRSS instance, feel free to suffer on my behalf :)
However, I worry about sticking to the same blogs and not growing them further. This is a problem not many have, as I know of others who want to trim down their selection further more—looking at you Amin. Of course, I will probably change my mind in two days, but for now, I want to try to read blogposts from the people I read a bit less, or that may even be completely new (to me).
I constantly mention people on this website that I read all the time, you can usually find them on my blogroll as well. I already know I’ll enjoy whatever Sylvia, RL Dane, Naty or Jakov come up with. And if you are a blogger who reads me constantly and interacts with me, you already know I’m talking about you too—I’m purposefully avoiding to highlight the ones I link all the time ;)
So, at least for a little while, I’m going to willfully skip through my usual reads and try to give a chance to the people I haven’t read as much, and that are totally new to me.
For the sake of it, here are links to some recent additions to my feeds. Some of them are doing Blaugust, but not necessarily, I have checked some of their posts and from what I’ve read, I think I’ll like them.
- Syl’s Blog - I already shared a post from here on my weeknotes, lots of gaming related posts which I’m 100% here for, and some others about music and personal thoughts.
- Unfiltered Thoughts - The title alone lets you know what this is about. Short, personal thoughts, about tech, life, and blogging itself.
- The Tangent Space - More weeknotes to enjoy! With some gaming notes on them, can’t complain at all.
- LMNT - This one is from an artist and it shows, there’s wallpapers, and a lot of other things related to designing icons, logos and websites!
- Thread Pool - I saw this blog on Mastodon a while back and I check it here and there, it’s about technology, coding and just life in general!
Of course, if you know of any other bloggers out there who you think I have not seen and that I may enjoy, feel free to send me a link!
