If you have a #blog , does it have #ActivityPub integration - either natively or via an appropriate plugin (such as the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress)?

If so, share its account name here - so that people can follow them and comment on them with their regular #FediVerse account!

I think this functionality is one of the most underappreciated aspects of the Fediverse. It's not quite an #RSS feed, but it's awesome in its own right.

Is it possible to get an RSS feed of all posts that @mention you? On Mastodon or any other fediverse app.

If so, I was wondering if a Nostr or BlueSky app could follow that RSS feed, and ingest the posts to add them to your notifications there. But to do that it would have to be able to identify itself as an agent approved by the owner of that fediverse account.

Could this be a use case for the AP C2S API or a vNext?

The #ActivityPub plugin for WordPress hasn't worked for several version updates on my site and I don't have time to debug the issue. If you're following @colin (you’ve likely missed some posts) I recommend subscribing to my #RSS feed instead. I may deactivate the ActivityPub plugin in the near future unless an update fixes the issue. https://cdevroe.com/subscribe

Especially if you're an #indieWeb supporter, you should consider this feature essential, as it's what gives you the ability e.g. to make your #RSS feeds nicely formatted even on browsers that have removed built-in support for them (i.e. basically anything except for #VivaldiBrowser).

Of course, it can be used for more than that. I wrote about this (in Italian) on my website a couple of years ago

Dear people

When using h-entry (or, honestly, even), is there anything people have been coalescing towards that’s kind of a push that says “hey have another look?”

For example, imagine the concept of an RSS reader but you don’t want the reader to have to poll.

I only know of and here but idk if either of those is appropriate for this use case?

UPDATE: I have been informed about WebSub, which is exactly what I was looking for

  1. Choose an RSS reader. I use Inoreader, but there are a bunch of options out there (free and paid, mobile/web/desktop). Switching between them is pretty easy, so you don’t have to agonize over this too much.

    #RSS

Choose an RSS reader Many good free and paid RSS readers exist, as web-based, desktop, or mobile apps. I personally use and like Inoreader.g I pay for a subscription, but it has a generous free tier. I’ve also heard good things about NewsBlur and, for Apple users, NetNewsWire. I no longer recommend Feedly. Don’t agonize over this decision too much. RSS is a protocol, and switching feed readers later is straightforward. Do note that various RSS apps may themselves try to collect data about you, so check their privacy policies. As of writing, Inoreader collects some data on your reading activities, but does not sell or share it with marketers.4 Some tech-savvy people opt to self-host RSS feed readers like FreshRSS for maximum privacy and control.

Although I regularly read about “the death of RSS”, RSS is still alive and well, and I’ve been using it for more than a decade. Here’s how you can too.

#RSS

Many, if not most, websites publish an RSS feed.e Whereas you can only follow a Twitter user on Twitter or a Substack writer in the Substack app, you can follow any website with an RSS feed in a feed reader. When you open it, all your reading is neatly waiting for you in one place, like a morning newspaper. And RSS is more of a one-way street from a privacy perspective,f pushing writing out to you with less of your data flowing back to the publisher. I’ve been heavily using RSS for over a decade, and it’s a travesty more people aren’t familiar with it. Here’s how to join me in the brave new (old) world of RSS:

Meet RSS Perhaps you’ve heard of RSS. It stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and it allows websites like blogs, newsletters, and news sites to make their content available in “feeds” for outside services called “RSS readers” or “feed readers”. Far from being the new hotness attracting glitzy feature stories in tech media or billions in venture funding, RSS has been around for 25 years. Google Reader was once the most popular RSS reader, and many (including me) were heartbroken by its shutdown in 2013. A lot of people moved to centralized microblogging services like Twitter and stopped reading blogs. But despite the loss of Reader, RSS continued on, and many contemporary tools do similar — even better — jobs than the decade-old service. In fact, you’ve almost certainly been using RSS without even knowing it, because the entire podcast industry runs on it.

I've been listening to a good #RNZ #podcast, The Lodge. It's about a wellness #cult and the members and the victims. It's presented by an investigative journalist, Phil Vine.

https://www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/the-lodge#RSS is here but I found it in my podcast player of choice's catalogue.

Worth listening to if that's your sort of thing. I think it's still ongoing (I'm a couple of episodes behind)

@molly0xfff love to see that #RSS is still alive and kicking. Also a loving thought at Aaron Swartz.
