What is an RSS feed?
An RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication) is a standardized web format that publishes a site's latest content as a machine-readable file. Subscribers use an RSS reader or newsletter service to receive updates automatically — without visiting each website manually. RSS is an open standard supported by virtually every major publisher, blog, and news outlet.
How do I subscribe to RSS feeds by email?
To subscribe to RSS feeds by email: (1) Create a free Chetmail account. (2) Add any RSS feed URL or paste a website address — Chetmail auto-detects the feed. (3) Choose your daily delivery time and timezone. Chetmail then sends a single digest email every day containing new articles from all your feeds. No RSS reader software is required.
Are RSS feeds free to use?
Yes. RSS is a free, open standard. Every feed listed in this directory is freely published by its source — no account or subscription is required with the original publisher. You only need a tool to read or aggregate the feeds. Chetmail offers a free plan that supports up to 3 RSS sources with daily email delivery.
What is the difference between an RSS reader and an RSS-to-email service?
An RSS reader (such as Feedly or Inoreader) displays articles inside a dedicated app that you must open manually. An RSS-to-email service like Chetmail converts RSS updates into a formatted email digest delivered to your inbox automatically each day. Email delivery requires no extra app and works with any existing email client.
How many RSS feeds should I follow?
Most active readers follow between 10 and 30 RSS feeds. Following fewer than 5 feeds often results in sparse digests, while following more than 50 can produce information overload. Chetmail's keyword filtering feature (available on the Pro plan) helps manage high-volume feeds by only delivering articles matching topics you specify.
Do news sites still have RSS feeds?
Yes. The majority of major news publishers, technology blogs, scientific journals, and government agencies still publish RSS feeds. Some social media platforms have removed RSS support, but virtually all editorial websites maintain active feeds. This directory lists only verified, currently-active RSS feeds that are checked regularly.
