Help : Self-Hosting RSS Feed for my blog (pls) (lemy.lol)

Oh technomages of c/selfhosted, I come seeking your help once more because anywhere I look there's people trying to sell me on their service, something-something PODCASTS, or RSS for windows and all that, my brain cannot anymore.

I've got a blog I'm serving with nginx, and I would like to implement some sort of RSS feed. I'm pretty much new to the whole thing, but it was recommended to me. I did a bit of research and now I know those are like xml files that you subscribe to.

So, I wanted to know: In your experience, what is the best way to go about this? Do I have to make them myself by hand and put them in an /rss/ directory in the root of my blog? How do people subscribe to them? Got any resources?

I wouldn't mind writing them by hand actually, my whole website is hand-made, gluten free and organic. (maybe not the last one).

Thanks in advance <3

What powers your blog? If it's some platform like WordPress, then an RSS feed might be built-in or added with a plugin. Otherwise, you'd have to create and maintain it manually.

If you're using Hugo it also creates an RSS feed by default every time you build the site.
