Hello! I’m looking for help in finding ways to stay up to date with News “of the World” in the modern age. Having de-Googled (and, therefore, abandoned Google News), I find it hard to track what is going on outside of links posted to Lemmy/Mastodon (my only social media), and have no subscriptions to any streaming channels and no cable TV. I’m hoping someone can help me find a way to subscribe/watch enough news that I can stay properly informed. (For context, I am living in the US but believe I should be aware of activities in the rest of the World as we all undoubtedly impact each other.)
My goals are:
- “Watch” topics in particular (ex: Tech, Science, Politics, LGBTQ+ rights, etc.).
- Discover new items of interest based on my current interests.
- Reputable sources that at least attempt to be unbiased (especially those that cite respectably, such as academic publications and the like).
- Prefer FOSS solutions.
- Multiple (even dissenting) opinions are enjoyable.
I am a learned man and value knowledge, open-mindedness, objective truth, and perspective. Any suggestions are eagerly encouraged. Thank you all.

Came here to say this. I have probably 150 feeds I scan everyday via Feedly.com. (I like Feedly so much because it syncs over whatever device I’m using at the time.)
Do you have comments as to how Feedly ranks from a privacy standpoint, ownership, data sharing, etc?
The Exodus Privacy analysis shows that the android app has no trackers, which is pretty amazing
ToSDR has this report about Feedly.
Inoreader scores slightly better but the android app has 2 trackers (Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics)
I use Reeder on Apple products. It’s a one time price of USD 9.99 for MacOS and USD 4.99 for iOS.
