I love RSS but a big annoyance: when sites change their feed url, and don't redirect it from the old one 😢

@gamingonlinux a bit unrelated, but do you optimalize articles for Mozilla's pocket at all?

@gamingonlinux about RSS, any chance we can get the entire article from your RSS instead of just a small description? I rather read everything without having to open the site on a new tab etc. Unless there's a particular reason for it

Thanks!!!

@raspikabek it's only available for Patreon supporters due to bot scrapers hammering the previous full feed

@gamingonlinux yeah it's little annoying. Fortunately some RSS clients notify you when they are not able to retrieve info in some time so you know to look it up again. For example FreshRSS can do this.

@gamingonlinux To be fair I don't think that is the RSS fault.
Websites changing their links should add a 301 redirect to the new feed link which I suppose would be followed by the RSS clients.
