I am notified about new posts to feeds that I follow by rss2email. I
have 72 feeds that I actively follow.

It is niche but very appreciated by those of us that use it.
Basically if I like a blog or similar service then I like to follow
it. But I will never see new postings unless they have a feed, or if
I follow them on Fediverse. I'm not going to sit there reloading 72
web sites every day.

(Doesn't have to be RSS; any feed tech like Atom is fine also)

Cheers,
Andy
