Huh? How do you subscribe to an RSS feed in Mastodon?


To follow @elonjet@mastodon.social, use: https://mastodon.social/@elonjet.rss


That's an RSS feed for a Mastodon account, not an example of what we're discussing.


Right. It is not possible. But what if you could follow both fediverse accounts and RSS feeds all from your Mastodon account?


IMO it makes much more sense to do the opposite, and follow mastodon posts in the UX of a RSS reader.

I personally haven't been liking any content aggregation outside of RSS/reddit because I can't take the timeline model of unrelated things being streamed to my eyes without context. I tend to want to specialize what I read or otherwise I tend not to remember it or appreciate it as much (for instance I'd typically scan through news-like nodes during breaks and read art/science/in-depth feeds after work, but something that mixes both makes me uncomfortable).

But I do have a "people" node in my ttrss instance that aggregates from social network sources/blogs/shaarlis. Gives the best of both worlds, I think.
