Tangentially on this note, if anyone is interested, I can produce a list of every RSS feed known to the marginalia search crawler. It's a pretty noisy list, but any thing I can do to help the spread, discovery and adoption of RSS I'm happy to help with so just let me know.
I a tool in place to export this data to help power the experimental RSS preview feature[1], but haven't had the inspiration to do much with that yet.
--edit-- Ok so there was interest. Give me a moment, I'll need to run an extraction script. Check back in a few hours or bookmark https://downloads.marginalia.nu/exports/
I would be very keen to have access to that list and to, ideally, have a go at cleaning it up and producing a topical subset for broader use in certain fields I'm interested in (e.g. all the "developer blogs", say). I offer an OPML file of several hundred engineering/dev related blogs at https://engineeringblogs.xyz/ but I'm starting to think a little bigger.
The data is, as mentioned, pretty noisy. It's a best-effort guess as to which is the canonical RSS feed for the particular domain. There doesn't appear to be any convention for specifying this, so when there's multiple a fair bit of guesswork is involved. Expect a fair number of dead URLs, lots of spam from CRMs that generate uninteresting feeds.
I know the Google search console lets you upload a site map, which can be an RSS feed, so the information is readily available. I suspect Google isn't incentivised to promote RSS, especially after they killed Google Reader.
I started a submission based platform ( bao.social but not currently resolving) as a side project because I missed the accessibility for RSS. would be keen on the list or even just connecting with you and OP
