I remember when the primary definition of an online "feed" was an RSS or ATOM XML file published by a website to provide automated access to recent updates on that website or potentially some other site. We subscribed to feeds by actively choosing to add a feed to the feed reader of our choice, as one might (still) subscribe to a magazine or newsletter these days. We could recommend blogs or news sites to our friends or other people who "followed" us online by linking to their URLs on our own blogs or via email.
Let's reclaim that sense of a feed as a consciously chosen online diet – not a synthetic mashup generated by opaque algorithms.
I'm really turning into "old woman yells at cloud", aren't I?
I just found https://kill-the-newsletter.com/. It's a simple services that gives you unique e-mail and #RSS (#Atom to be precise) feed. Whenever someone sends newsletter to that e-mail, it becomes an entry in your Atom feed. Your personal inbox remains safe and empty
Under-the-radar late night launch: RSS Parrot is live! It talks like Mastodon, but it doesn't walk like Mastodon. BUT! It will relay any RSS feed straight into your timeline.
Turn Mastodon into your very own feed reader. Follow anything that has an RSS feed and get a toot about new posts.
How? Mention @birb with the address you want to follow.
Il #bot (che in realtà chiamano #bridge, gli piace di più) ufficiale di #Matrix per i #feed#Atom ed #RSS non mi piaceva (a volte pare fare cilecca, e non permette di scrivere nel messaggio il contenuto intero di un post), e in giro non ho trovato alternative migliori, quindi ecco qua in qualche quarto d’ora che ho fatto al volo con #n8n un mio #reposter dal #MicroBlog alla mia #stanza … e questa non è mica una scusa per vedere se tutto funziona a modino ora, nossignore… 🤫️
Tag➖8️⃣. Heute ist internationaler Tag der Solidarität. Vor 113 Jahren wird zum ersten Mal experimentell die Existenz von Atomkernen bewiesen, unser link ist fast genauso alt: https://www.retrogames.cz/play_687-DOS.php
