Glorious. Pop your Mastodon username in, get a big list of everyone's feeds. Excellent use of the .lol TLD as well.

 @robb this is literally everything I was asking for a couple of weeks back 🤩   @bobmonsour @robb @kev @paulcuth I feed it in my fingers, I feed it in my toes... (Not in the style of Wet Wet Wet but of Bill Nighy's character in Love Actually because that's really a few syllables too many to crowbar in there)  @robb Ooh moar rss! Love it. Thanks! It's fun to see how people have separated out their feed categories, too. @robb oh wow. Super cool! When I have some free time I'll temporarily unprivate my following list and slurp up a bunch of feeds, thank you!  @robb This appears to make copies of everyone’s RSS feed and adds branding on it. This is not cool. I don’t want someone else “owning” my RSS feed. (It’s also going to quickly bankrupt this guy, because RSS uses astonishing amounts of bandwidth and requests). Disappointing because the product seems quite nice. @james Is this NetNewsWire by any chance? I've just identified that this is a NNW issue where it's not picking up the feed as defined in the HTML like it should. I'm chatting with the developer now to work out how to get around it. @robb @paulcuth Suggestions are: 1. The RSS icon should always be directly linked to an RSS feed. 2. The /feed/ URL should have the feed URL in a text box with a "copy" button next to it, to make the call to action really clear (and to not confuse). 3. Of course, keep the LINK REL in there; that's good too - but there's apparently no guarantee it will work; and more importantly, the naked RSS feed is not visible anywhere in this interface.  @robb I love the heading font on this site. Pretty cool that they stretched the font and it still looks that good. @robb do you have an explainer of how this works anywhere? I was looking for one on your site. |
@robb Interesting, although it seems to fail to recognise followers?
