Another significant hurdle I've seen is how hard it is to get external content into your feed - I want to consume content, from RSS feeds and multitude of other sources, not create content.
- kgwxd 8y agoWhy not just use an RSS reader?
- Avamander 8y agoBecause it lacks the social part
- solarkraft 8y agoThat's not quite what Mastodon is for, but there are many bots publishing RSS feeds, many of which can be found on botsin.space.
- Avamander 8y agoWell, given that most people don't have content creators in their social circles it sounds rather short-sighted if Mastodon intentionally lacks methods to bring content (creators) to the platform.
- solarkraft 8y agoIt's not short-sighted since it's not its intent to be an RSS reader. I also wouldn't call it short-sighted that Mastodon lacks embedded racing games :-) I think it's a nice idea to have RSS feeds available on Mastodon, but without changing the technical basis quite a bit (I think), this won't happen without Bots as proxies.
