Should also depend on whether a push extension is used, then the reader can fetch the feed less often. The feed of that blog seems to be a plain RSS feed without that.
- vidarh 5y agoEveryone used to "ping" sites whose only purpose was to provide feeds of when blogs changed, so all the aggregators would use that as a starting point anyway. But really it isn't that necessary - there are few feeds where getting things to your subscribers that urgently matters enough that you necessarily want them to hammer your site the moment you publish.
- jefftk 5y agoI'm not aware of any push functionality in RSS -- something needs to poll the feed, no? Or is there an RSS extension that uses long polling or something?
- detaro 5y agoPubSubHubbub/WebSub (the latter is effectively the slightly modernized W3C standardization of the former) is the standard solution for that. (Feed declares where to register for updates (hubs), readers register their callback URLs with hubs, publishers tell hubs when something changed, hubs run through the registered callbacks and ping them with the update. Thus needs a server-component for the reader side.)
