I'm a big fan of RSS but RSS limits you to what you already have subscribed to. I think mining user data has become the unfortunate norm but there trying to provide more relevant content here so that's understandable.

I'm curious to see how well this type of recommendation works in comparison to community based sites like hacker news and reddit.

Not if every website with a feed also shares their subscribed feeds. Like with an OPML file, which was already used as a feedlist exchange format.

I aim to create this with my Really Social Sites software. And I'm always curious to scroll through someone else's meaningful lists of shared links.

So if anyone cares to share their OPML file or list of interesting bookmarks, please reply.

I'd be interested to see what you already have. If you really want a pile of interesting bookmarks I bet a lot of people here (including me) could give you some and it might be worth making a whole new discussion (vía e.g. Show HN) for it.

I wish the RSS had a way of embedding a list of other RSS feeds. Then if you wanted to you could use this to form a network.

Providing and consuming relevant content shouldn't be a holy grail, or at least should be given less importance.

Yet way to find what you like is nice. Youtube for all its mess did let me discover a bunch of channels I now watch often, even tho most of my browsing comes from me subscribing to YT channel's RSS feed

Less importance than what?
