Feeds for short posts that can be used as learning material? (thebrainbin.org)

Found recently a feed for police reports from a Norwegian county, @politietiagderlogg@activitypub.stigatle.no

I personally don't have any opinions on that county, so news on it would be by default useless to me. But as they're pretty straight to the point, short, and on a rather narrowed down subject, it's being pretty helpful for studying vocabulary, something that at least for me is the hardest part in language learning.

Introduction given, would anyone have any recommendations on Japanese, Korean and/or German feeds that follow that general idea? Not necessarily on the fediverse, though if not, at least in a way I can easily follow, such as through RSS. And while I gave a police report log as example, subject doesn't need to be the same.

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, for German maybe

https://mastodon.derstandard.at/@derStandard

It's a high quality newspaper from Austria. They post the title / short description of news there (which is their RSS feed). But that might be too short maybe.

Thanks! Skimming through, titles seem mostly news medias level of short, that is, mainly for picking attention. Still, adding to the list.

Also Misskey is funny, tried loading the profile in it (since they have RSS for external profiles - redundancy ftw), but I had put the whole domain as the @ handle when the correct handle doesn't have the mastodon. subdomain, and the instance found it by the art of bruteforcing apparently:

Haven't given misskey a try, but interesting problem lol. Glad you got it to appear!

And to your previous comment: yeah thought the titles might be too short, but couldn't find anything better in my follows-list :(
