if you don't need the filtering from the hivemind, you can read https://news.ycombinator.com/newest (I'm not sure if it has a RSS.) Warning: it's full of crap.

And you can enable the showdead flag. Warning: The worst crap is [dead] so this version has even more crap.

Anyway, there are from time to time some interesting articles that are unlucky and don't get even a vote, so after reading the front page please go to the newest page and try to find a hidden jewel there.

PS: There are a few alternative unofficial HN UI. They use alternative orders, probably without the official penalties. For example http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/ and https://hckrnews.com/
