I feel like lots of people are getting tired of social media, but I really value every person that I’ve found on here. I’d like to continue reading their thoughts on #RSS …

Has anyone invented a tool that reads your Fedi following list, and outputs an OPML for people’s website links?

It’s Masto so replies often don’t show up.

@meljoann This looks like it's for RSS feeds of Mastodon posts though, not for linked websites. Still cool! I share your problem though so I might actually whip up a tool like this…

@balint oh brilliant, I will keep an eye out for that!

Yep, the RSS capability of Masto posts makes it an especially hard problem to search for…

@meljoann I nearly got nerdsniped into looking into it, but alas I don't have the time.

Here's one piece of the puzzle - getting someone's following list: https://blog.tomaszdunia.pl/mastodon-api-followers-following-eng/
