Mastodon 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.

- timbit42 4y agoThis works: https://mastodon.social/@elonjet.rss https://mastodon.social/@elonjet.rss
- timbit42 4y agoTo follow @elonjet@mastodon.social, use: https://mastodon.social/@elonjet.rss https://mastodon.social/@elonjet.rss
- 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.
