Yet unlike the 20+ other websites that I can just copy the main url into NetNewsWire, it doesn’t seem to have an RSS feed…

  With NetNewsWire even when you go to URL from the link https://imgur.com/a/DkifnBG https://imgur.com/a/DkifnBG

    Other posters mentioned her IP block - I wouldn't be surprised if that was the cause since automated netnewswire traffic might easily be confused with abuse.

      There have been a variety of posts semi-recently about a “feed reader score” project, and maybe NNW is particularly misbehaved? https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/12/10/feed/ https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/12/10/feed/ https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/12/17/packets/ https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/12/17/packets/

        NNW works for every other site that has an RSS feed and someone else just commented that while it’s a valid atom feed, when they try to use it in another newsreader, they get an empty result

Perhaps you should either file a bug with NetNewsWire, or debug NetNewsWire and submit a PR so it works with her blog.

  So we are now going back to special casing websites that don’t follow standards like the IE6 days?

    Do you need special-casing to recognise <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="/w/atom.xml"> ?

        The w3.org validator says that https://rachelbythebay.com/w/atom.xml https://rachelbythebay.com/w/atom.xml is a valid Atom 1.0 feed (https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Frachelbythebay.com%2Fw%2Fatom.xml https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fra...). It does seem like something's off about the feed. Vienna can read the file, but it comes up empty. But it doesn't seem like the problem is standards non-compliance.
