Anyone use or know of a good news aggregator app or website that can pull stuff globally and has a live update headline feed?

    You basically just described what an RSS feed is. Get a client (I use readkit) and start adding websites to your feed. If you are feeling up to it. self hosting freshRSS and having it sync your feeds to your client is also an option.

        Depends what your into. Hackernews is always a good feed to add, ars technica, your local news station, your local news paper, I got an rss-bridge running that posts to my feed when apps update with their change log, when a project on github has a news release, when one of my favorite artists releases music on apple music. Institute for the Study of War is also a decent unique feed if you want to read up on strictly tactical updates on ongoing conflicts.

        Honestly, thats the beauty of RSS feeds. They are everywhere, I got feeds aggregating memes, and webcomics. You can run a bridge that prowls instagram using your account and generate a post in your feed when your friend posts something. Literally RSS is all about turning the internet you use into your own personal feed without the BS algorithms crammed down your throat. Someone creates a post, and your feed gets sorted by time posted. Easy as that.

        I use Lemmy really for the social interaction. Something which RSS doesn’t have.
