Where can I get Slashdot's main feed?

The syndication feed for the Slashdot front page is available in RSS 0.9, RSS 1.0, and Atom 1.0 formats. Please do not request feeds more than once every 30 minutes.

What other feeds are available?

On most pages, if there is feed content available, it will be noted in the <HEAD> of the page.

Wherever you see rss below, you can also substitute with atom to get an Atom 1.0 feed, such as content_type=atom and journal/atom, or append atom to the end of the rss.slashdot.org URLs, like slashdotGamesatom (although some feeds, like Zoo and some search results, need some more work for Atom).

Where you see $username below, substitute the URI-encoded username of the user in question (such as Clifton+Wood).

Where you see $logtoken, you must include a token so the server knows you are you, in lieu of a cookie, as most newsreaders can't handle cookies well (you can find it in the <HEAD> of the page, if you are a logged in, and a subscriber). NOTE: your logtoken is subject to change when you log out or change your login preferences. See the Accounts FAQ for more information.

How do I set up a custom feed?

Use the filter field to sort for whatever type of content you like. On the section menu, you'll se an "untitled" section, which you can use to save those settings. Once that's done, hitting the edit button again will bring up an an RSS icon which you can use to subscribe to the custom feed. You can also grab feeds off of the tabs at the top of the page, which are modifiable as well.
