Here's a neat #Mastodon trick I just discovered:

You can access an RSS feed of any user's posts simply by adding .rss onto the end of their profile URL — so, for instance:

twit.social/@jr.rss

You can then use that link to follow all of that person's posts in Feedly, Feedbin, or any other RSS reading service.

Heck, you can even do it directly in #Chrome, if you want!

Another useful #Mastodon RSS trick: You can add .rss onto the end of any *hashtag* link's URL to create an RSS feed from *that!*

twit.social/tags/android.rss

Thanks to @bbdd333 for pointing this out!

@jr @bbdd333 looks like the .json extension works as well!

@jr @bbdd333 oh that's neat. This would presumably only see hashtagged toots that the instance "knows about". I guess if you want to use an RSS reader to follow a Fediverse hashtag as broadly as possible, it might be worthwhile to put some thought into which server to use (it might not be your own).

@eamon @jr Good point, I didn't think about the possibility that this would be limited by instance. I'll have to look at that.
