  All youtube channels have their own feeds, but they’re not obvious to find. The URL looks like this:

  https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
  

  Go to the channel’s home page and search the page source for “channel_id=” (with a long string of numbers and letters after it often starting with a “U”) and paste the ID after the equal sign. The channel id looks something like this: UCtwKon9qMt5YLVgQt1tvJKg

    Hang on, do you or anyone else know if it’s possible to add playlists to RSS in this way? There are channels that I overall don’t want to watch but that have a specific playlist I want to follow.

    You would need that if YouTube actually sent notifications like it’s supposed to. So this will come in handy.

    This might be useful for their community posts - is there a seperate feed for them or are they included in the videos feed?

    I never see the community posts anywhere except for the home page & on the creator’s page. Which makes it frustrating because I only stay in the subscriptions page - so I only get updates if they upload a video.

    Vivaldi detects these automatically so you can in a couple of clicks. It’s great
