 @Chancerubbage @paulcuth @mastodonmigration how does one "has an RSS feed"?  @schizanon @paulcuth @mastodonmigration Not every website in the world has accesssible Really Simple Syndication hooks. These days you often hear it only known by some primarily as a way to deliver podcasts. Not always kind to someoneโs web metrics. @Chancerubbage @paulcuth @mastodonmigration I see, it uses profile links then? @schizanon @paulcuth @mastodonmigration Iโm thinking profile links, just to keep the total number of rss cross references within a manageable framework. The site may be just using those that the input screename is following, and not looking further. Iโm only taking a wild ass guess as to what theoretically could be feasible. Some mastodon users definitely want mastodon as a sort of everything app, combo rss reader and video and audio. Some might only want microblogging paradigm. Iโve no idea. |

I donโt know if it is account level or server level. But input is at account. Granularity. Local could mean either afaik.
Theoretically youโd index who in the instance has an RSS feed- it could already being โfedโ into Mastodon, at least indirectly. Then cross index.
You may be asking about more than theoretical mechanics however
