Re: "Thoughts on feeds. I have been struggling with my feeds..."
Now that I think of it, one could be more mindful about the feeds they follow by skimming the headlines and saving the links in a Reading List of some kind. I could see myself having a list of stuff to read in an app like Obsidian so I could link directly to the things I find interesting.

@PikaSonic That is typically what I do with my feeds. I rarely actually read an article in my feed reader. I skim the titles and sometimes a little bit of the article itself and if it is something I would like to read it gets added to wallabag and synced to my ereader for reading. I also have a smaller selection of feeds I consider the most interesting that I sync to my PDA.
I think there is a subtle difference between writing a post and then choosing appropriate tags for that post, versus having an idea, choosing one of your existing channels, and then writing the post with that channel in mind. Possibly still with additional tags. I like the word “channel” for that idea. A pre-arranged committed path for content in a certain topic.

Thoughts on feeds. I have been struggling with my feeds recently. Both RSS and fedi. I lose enthusiasm for a person because I’m only interested in one of the topics they write about. Eventually I don’t bother searching through the feeds for the good stuff. Then eventually my feed reader app is just not exciting to me anymore. I’d really like better curation tools so I could construct a better experience for myself. There seems to be a culture that posting a unified stream of your thoughts...
