I use it mostly for Youtube, GitHub changelogs, and blogposts. To add feeds you either have to find some icon on the website that gives you the RSS link or look up how to to create it.
For a youtube channel it would look like this: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCVIFCOJwv3emlVmBbPCZrvw This site helps to figure out the channel id for a given channel easily: https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/youtube-channel-id-and-user-id-convertor/ You then copy that link for each channel into the reader and its done.
There are lots of rss readers (apps that let you organize your feeds) for all OS’s and i think it comes down to personal choice. I use an android app called “Feeder” and a Linux app called “QuiteRSS” but you can usually export/import all your collected feeds between them.
Theres at least a Firefox add-on that will show you an icon when a website has a feed. I forget what it’s called though.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
