Apologies for promoting my project again (did this in at least 2 other threads related to RSS), but I'm weirdly proud of it: I'm curating a list of human-written blogs on my blog reader/discovery/search engine called Minifeed: https://minifeed.net/blogs/

There's an OPML export available as well: https://minifeed.net/blogs/opml.xml

Nice. I think a search engine that only crawls RSS feeds is a great idea. My own selfishness wants such a project to not get too popular so the slop media doesn't go back to publishing feeds.

At least my project has manual curation and strict eligibility criteria, so I don't crawl all RSS feeds, but instead focus on personal blogs.
