How do I use the RSS feed
The RSS feed enables you to get all the latest discussions from a specific topic or group directly to your computer. In order to use it you'll need to work with a Feed Reader or News Aggregator software (there are many free to choose from). You can google "rss reader" to choose the one you want.
