Where can I get Slashdot's main feed?
The syndication feed for the Slashdot front page is available in RSS 0.9 (http://slashdot.org/index.rdf), RSS 1.0 (http://slashdot.org/index.rss), and Atom 1.0 (http://slashdot.org/index.atom). It contains all the "main page" articles. Do not request feeds more than once every 30 minutes.

What other feeds are available?
On most pages, if there is feed content available, it will be noted in the <HEAD> of the page.
Wherever you see rss below, you can also substitute with atom to get an Atom 1.0 feed, such as content_type=atom, journal/atom, or index.atom (although some feeds, like Zoo and some search results, need some more work for Atom).
Where you see $username below, substitute the URI-encoded username of the user in question (such as Clifton+Wood).
Where you see $logtoken, you must include a token so the server knows you are you, in lieu of a cookie, as most newsreaders can't handle cookies well (you can find it in the <HEAD> of the page, if you are a logged in, and a subscriber). NOTE: your logtoken is subject to change when you log out or change your login preferences. See the Accounts FAQ for more information.
- Index (replace "index" with a section name, such as "apple.rss")
- http://slashdot.org/index.rdf
- http://slashdot.org/index.rss
- http://slashdot.org/index.pl?content_type=rss&logtoken=$logtoken
- (this special subscriber version will respect your user homepage prefs; including which stories appear from which sections; to get only a specific section, replace the hostname, such as "apple.slashdot.org")
- Journals (add "/$logtoken" if you are a subscriber, to get full HTML in the feed)
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/journal/rss
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/journal/friends/rss
- Messages
- http://slashdot.org/my/inbox/rss/$logtoken
- Zoo
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/friends/rss
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/foes/rss
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/fans/rss
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/freaks/rss
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/zoo/rss
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/friends/friends/rss
- http://slashdot.org/~$username/friends/foes/rss
- Search Results
- Merely add &content_type=rss to the query string
