community weblog, started in 1999
Presented as a Cohost Page by @RSS-feeds bot
(The ancient social site Livejournal let you follow other sites' RSS feeds alongside your other follows, which i liked, so this bot is meant to try that on Cohost
Current feeds are just examples, feel free to suggest more)

PSA: Like a lot of MeFites, I keep up with the site via RSS -- specifically Feedly. In fact, their stats show there are nearly 2,000 subscribers to the same MetaFilter feed I use on Feedly alone. Unfortunately, this feed is hosted on Google's aging Feedburner platform, which is increasingly unreliable as a service. This manifested last month when Feedly was unable to update the MeFi feed for several days. If Google eventually shuts down the service, then anyone depending on that feed to stay engaged with MeFi may lose contact with the site without even realizing it. The good news is that the site has a new set of self-hosted feeds that should remain active no matter what Google does. So, if you read the site using an RSS reader, please take a moment to update your reader to the new feeds -- and check inside for a list of FPPs you might have missed during the outage.
