I am equally baffled.
It's a pet peeve of mine seeing software projects that describe what they do, but without providing even a single use case. Or even what motivated the developer.
Why does this thing exist? There is probably a reason and then I could learn something.
- sussmannbaka 2y agoA bunch of friends and I once toyed around with the idea of replacing microblogging through ActivityPub with one RSS feed per user. To then display them in one combined feed, I just added all of them to a category in my RSS reader, the way I already did with topics before. One of my friends' RSS reader didn’t have that option (grouping by category yes but no combined feed) so they instead combined the feeds into a single RSS feed and added that to their RSS reader. In the end it was kinda finicky so we went back to ActivityPub.
- jayemar 2y agoI'm not sure if this is the functionality you are looking for, but Mastodon has built in RSS feeds per user. You just to add .rss to the user link. So, for example, if you had an account on mastodon.social, thered be an RSS feed of your posts at mastodon.social/@sussmannbaka.rss
- trekz 2y agoYeah, there are also third-party services that provide RSS feeds for additional Mastodon data like tags as well. e.g. https://openrss.org/mastodon.social/tags/assange https://openrss.org/mastodon.social/tags/assange
