I made a thing to help me find RSS feeds, and I really liked it. So I made it prettier so you can use it too, if RSS feeds are your thing. As it turns out, in my corner of the fediverse there’s a ton of them… https://rss-is-dead.lol #rss #fediverse

    @paulcuth@mastodon.social "internal error"

  • @paulcuth @mastodonmigration Anyone want to explain the attraction of using mastodon as an RSS reader, which I assume is the point of this post? I think there are more efficient models and platforms for reading RSS feeds. FINDING them may indeed be harder. Many former feeds became siloed paywalls. Still not sure I want to fold rss in into a mastodon thread. I already click thru to too many individual articles that would be much more quickly read just visiting the source site directly.

  • @schizanon @paulcuth @mastodonmigration I don’t know if it is account level or server level. But input is at account. Granularity. Local could mean either afaik. Theoretically you’d index who in the instance has an RSS feed- it could already being ‘fed’ into Mastodon, at least indirectly. Then cross index. You may be asking about more than theoretical mechanics however

  • @schizanon @paulcuth @mastodonmigration Like I can haz cheeseburger? Not every website in the world has accesssible Really Simple Syndication hooks. These days you often hear it only known by some primarily as a way to deliver podcasts. Not always kind to someone’s web metrics.

  • @schizanon @paulcuth @mastodonmigration I’m thinking profile links, just to keep the total number of rss cross references within a manageable framework. The site may be just using those that the input screename is following, and not looking further. I’m only taking a wild ass guess as to what theoretically could be feasible. Some mastodon users definitely want mastodon as a sort of everything app, combo rss reader and video and audio. Some might only want microblogging paradigm. I’ve no idea.

    @paulcuth Hi! I noticed your crawler gets a 406 Not Acceptable status from my site – probably because it sends requests with Accept: text/html, and my site is XHTML. Most HTML parsers can handle XHTML, so this is probably just a matter of changing the header.
