Rules for organizing an RSS service for a news service

Question

RSS

Situation:
We have a news resource and we need to organize an RSS service for it.
We have a general feed where all the news merges and there are n more compound feeds by headings.

The question is how to break it all up correctly:
1) Should I make one feed divided into several rss channels or is it better to have several separate files?
2) How to do so that, when visiting the page, browsers would find the necessary rss and highlight their presence in the status bar? (chrome ff safari)
3) What other points should be taken into account when organizing a large number of rss feeds?

Answer 1

that the browser found RSS in HEAD, it’s enough to add something like
/>
about one big one or many small ones - as you like, we made a separate RSS for each category.
one more recommendation - do not be too lazy to export to RSS not only headlines and announcements, but also pictures for news.

Answer 2

It is better to make several separate feeds so that clients who do not know how to recognize a multi-channel feed do not drown.
In order for the browser to see the feed, a meta tag like this is added to the HEAD section

<link href="http://example.com/rss.xml" title="RSS" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate">

Add a meta tag with a link to the general feed on the main page.
Add meta tags with links to thematic (prefabricated) feeds on the category pages.
Be sure to make a separate page listing links to all feeds and a brief description of how to use it. Many users don't know that you can subscribe by browser and prefer to see direct links to feeds to copy and add to your reader.
Make buttons “Add to Yandex.Subscriptions” and “Add to Google Reader”. It should work.
