RSS in Mastodon

RSS integration in Mastodon

One of Mastodon’s features you might not be aware of is the native RSS integration which is very easy to use, in this comic we see how.

Transcript

Hash: Did you know Mastodon has native RSS integration?

Hash: It’s as simple as to take the profile’s URL

Hash: And add .rss at the end

Hash: For example let’s take the URL https://mastodon.social/@thefunnypages and add .rss to it so is https://mastodon.social/@thefunnypages.rss

Hash: Look for that new URL in your favorite RSS reader

Hash: And presto! now you can follow that profile from the RSS reader

I hope this has been of use and if you want to support the comics

I hadn't heard of it before, but it turns out there's a style format called XSLT that allows the browser to translate an XML file into HTML with CSS styling for display purposes.

Since my feed is Atom rather than RSS, I had a bit of trouble, but this post was helpful:

I figured out how to get my RSS feed to be human-readable and nice-looking!

I'd been wanting to do this to give people who aren't familiar with RSS an easier on-ramp to the stuff I care about.

I figure if someone new to RSS clicks on the link and just gets raw XML, they might think something is “broken” and not stick around, but now there's something human-readable and with instructions on how to follow it in a reader.

Mir ist gerade ein gewaltiger Nachteil in den Sinn gekommen, Mastodon-Profile per RSS zu abonnieren: Tröts, die nur für Follower gepostet werden, bekomme ich über die Feeds niemals zu Gesicht. Tja. Schade. Dann wird das mit RSS wohl doch nichts. 🤷

Here's a thought experiment that I posted some ideas about in Mastodon a while back and now got into writing more thoughts down to my blog.

How about creating a shared RSS reader instance with feeds like release notes, announcement, news and blog posts related to your project and having team members subscribe to it (and contribute with new sources)?
