I noticed this shortly after the loginwall came down, and am subscribed to a few feeds. The post mentions the lack of links, but what I find more frustrating is the lack of embedded media (or indication thereof) on posts where it's present. This is also a problem with Mastodon feeds.

  Thanks! I didn't know about this, have toggled some of them on, and will see how it changes things. I think this is limited to the web client, though - I don't see how it could impact RSS feed generation, since those are being fetched logged-out by my RSS reader. Mostly I'm frustrated by the lack of <img>s in RSS <description>s on posts that contain photos.

    It is very new. And yeah that does sound frustrating, maybe file a bug?

I'm using https://bluestream.deno.dev/ https://bluestream.deno.dev/ which does include embedded media. I've one test user I'm following where I have an RSS feed from Bluestream and one directly with Bluesky. When they reach parity I'll swap over.

Mastodon feeds do have embedded media, not sure what you mean.

  Interesting. I just checked, and Mastodon feeds do seem to be emitting xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/ http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" <media:content> tags with image URLs. NetNewsWire doesn't attempt to render them at all. Other feeds using vanilla RSS with <img> tags in the <description> do render. Maybe it's just a client issue. Edit: Yep, https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire/issues/2538 https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire/issues/2538. My bad; not a Mastodon issue.

Or do you mean an image or other media in the <enclosure> tag?
