@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.

@Chancerubbage Hi 👋 The aim is to address that discovery issue... you can quickly see which of your connections have RSS feeds, view a preview of those feeds, and then subscribe by opening the page in your usual feed reader app. I wanted to find feeds closer to home; it's not really meant to be a reader. I certainly could do a better job of explaining that on the site. //cc @mastodonmigration
