## Criteria
|
|
|
|
**Please note we are not affiliated with any of the projects we recommend.** In addition to [our standard criteria](about/criteria.md), we have developed a clear set of requirements to allow us to provide objective recommendations. We suggest you familiarize yourself with this list before choosing to use a project, and conduct your own research to ensure it's the right choice for you.
|
|
|
|
!!! example "This section is new"
|
|
|
|
We are working on establishing defined criteria for every section of our site, and this may be subject to change. If you have any questions about our criteria, please [ask on our forum](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/latest) and don't assume we didn't consider something when making our recommendations if it is not listed here. There are many factors considered and discussed when we recommend a project, and documenting every single one is a work-in-progress.
|
|
|
|
- Must be open-source software.
|
|
- Must operate locally, i.e. must not be a cloud service.
|
|
|
|
## Social Media RSS Support
|
|
|
|
Some social media services also support RSS although it's not often advertised.
|
|
|
|
### Reddit
|
|
|
|
Reddit allows you to subscribe to subreddits via RSS.
|
|
|
|
!!! example
|
|
Replace `subreddit_name` with the subreddit you wish to subscribe to.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
https://www.reddit.com/r/{{ subreddit_name }}/new/.rss
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Twitter
|
|
|
|
Using any of the Nitter [instances](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances) you can easily subscribe using RSS.
|
|
|
|
!!! example
|
|
1. Pick an instance and set `nitter_instance`.
|
|
2. Replace `twitter_account` with the account name.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
https://{{ nitter_instance }}/{{ twitter_account }}/rss
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### YouTube
|
|
|
|
You can subscribe YouTube channels without logging in and associating usage information with your Google Account.
|
|
|
|
!!! example
|
|
|
|
To subscribe to a YouTube channel with an RSS client, first look for its [channel code](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6180214). The channel code can be found on the about page of the YouTube channel you wish to subscribe to, under: **About** > **Share** > **Copy channel ID**. Replace `[CHANNEL ID]` below:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=[CHANNEL ID]
|
|
```
