RSS fans!

You can follow any Mastodon account via RSS by just adding ".rss" to the end of the account's public profile URL.

To find a user's public profile URL, click on their profile image within Mastodon.

For example, if you click on FediTips' profile image you get this page in a new tab:

https://mstdn.social/@feditips

So, to follow FediTips through RSS, use this address:

https://mstdn.social/@feditips.rss

This will only show that account's public posts. Other posts will not be visible on the RSS feed.

@feditips Is it also possible - in reverse - to follow an RSS feed from Mastodon? That would be a great feature, wouldn't it?

@irene

No, not from Mastodon, BUT...

...you could try Friendica instead?

Friendica is compatible with Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse. It also lets you follow RSS feeds as if they are people to follow, and new items from the feed appear in the timeline alongside posts from the Fediverse. I was planning to post about it tomorrow.

Frienica's site is at https://friendi.ca, some good general servers include https://libranet.de and https://squeet.me

@feditips Thank you for the detailed answer! - But I don't want to change the instance just because of that.... Maybe Mastodon can do it sometime in the future, who knows.
