Why not put RSS into something like Mastodon? Take the code of a project like TTRSS and merge it with Mastodon to allow people to subscribe to both activity pub and RSS feeds. They are both chronologically sorted. People could comment on RSS items which would simply turn into shares for their followers.
- zeckalpha 4y agoMastodon already supports RSS
- cxr 4y agoHuh? How do you subscribe to an RSS feed in Mastodon?
- kornhole 4y agoRight. It is not possible. But what if you could follow both fediverse accounts and RSS feeds all from your Mastodon account?
- ezst 4y agoIMO it makes much more sense to do the opposite, and follow mastodon posts in the UX of a RSS reader. I personally haven't been liking any content aggregation outside of RSS/reddit because I can't take the timeline model of unrelated things being streamed to my eyes without context. I tend to want to specialize what I read or otherwise I tend not to remember it or appreciate it as much (for instance I'd typically scan through news-like nodes during breaks and read art/science/in-depth feeds after work, but something that mixes both makes me uncomfortable). But I do have a "people" node in my ttrss instance that aggregates from social network sources/blogs/shaarlis. Gives the best of both worlds, I think.

- cxr 4y agoThat's an RSS feed for a Mastodon account, not an example of what we're discussing.
- kornhole 4y agoI know my Mastodon account has a RSS feed automatically. I am talking about following RSS feeds from within Mastodon. Then I don't need to have both an RSS reader and a Mastodon screen open. They are merged.
