I know about finding the RSS feed icon at the bottom of any "Top Questions" page, giving access to recent, featured, hot, week & month questions feeds. I also know that you can get RSS feeds from tags such as support and even construct searches with specific tag and view combination.

Also, I have just discovered that you can get user responses feed and by inference a full user feed, and even use boolean operators on tag combinations, but I don't know what other user related feeds are available.

As far as I can tell, Stack Exchange only supports the hot questions feed and the feed without questions just returns the same as the hot questions feed. Also, Stack Exchange doesn't appear to support user feeds, which is a shame as that would be even more useful.

So, to summarise what feeds I can identify so far:

  • http://stack exchange site/feeds ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/featured ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/hot ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/week ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/month ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag/tag ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag/tag1+tag2 ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag/tag1+or+tag2 ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag/tag1+-tag2 ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag?tagnames=tag&sort=newest ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag?tagnames=tag&sort=featured ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag?tagnames=tag&sort=hot ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag?tagnames=tag&sort=votes ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag?tagnames=tag1+tag2 (+an optional &sort= term) ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag?tagnames=tag1+or+tag2 (+an optional &sort= term) ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/tag?tagnames=tag1+-tag2 (+an optional &sort= term) ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/user/user id ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/user/user id/responses ( e.g.)
  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/question/question id ( e.g.)
  • http://stackexchange.com/feeds/questions ( e.g.)
  • http://stackexchange.com/feeds ( e.g.)

While the following inferred possible RSS feeds don't work:

  • http://stack exchange site/feeds/votes ( e.g.)
  • http://stackexchange.com/feeds/user/user id ( e.g.)

So, what other RSS feeds are available?

So far I have been unable to find any canonical list of what is available, just the occasional meta post containing partial information. So far there have been no responses to What feeds are available? while the Community FAQ references a question which is no longer appears relevant (as far as I can see).

Of course the /votes/ one doesn't work; votes are private. –  Undo the Snowman Sep 18 at 23:58
 
@Undo, I was referring to pages such as stackoverflow.com/questions?sort=votes where votes is meant as "total number of votes" rather than "list of votes cast". I.e I was inferring the possibility of an RSS feed of the highest voted questions, but that makes little sense which I guess is why it hasn't been implemented. –  Mark Booth Sep 19 at 10:40

Whoops, I'm rolling back my edit on this. I edited out a link referring to the fact StackExchange network profile user feeds don't work - I confused it for regular site feeds (e.g. Mark Booth's Meta.SO feed) which do work. (also notifying @hjpotter92 who made an edit based on mine) –  Jonathan Hobbs Sep 23 at 12:01
 
Thanks @JohannesKuhn I've added examples for my current feeds, do you have an example of how to use a filters feed? I haven't come across these so far. –  Mark Booth Sep 24 at 21:53
 
Well, my Meta-Feed (All questions from meta.SO and Programming Puzzles & Code Golf Meta) or my Favs Filter (More or less things that I'm intrested in.) You can create your own filter here, at the bottom of your filter is a feed link. And you can get update emails about new questions. –  Johannes Kuhn Sep 25 at 6:31
 
Argh. Something striped out all my links. –  Johannes Kuhn Sep 25 at 12:39
