Mastodon which is incredibly hot, supports RSS beautifully.

Just add .rss to any account to get the feed. Amazing!

https://mastodon.social/@davew.rss

Open that in your favorite feed reader. It’ll work.

Post a screenshot, say what the reader app is.

And pass this on to everyone who uses a feed reader.

Spread the word!

This is a huge deal for the open web.

@davew it also works with tags so someone uninterested in joining masto can still keep tabs on what people are saying about a subject they’re interested in.

@thomasjwebb @davew how do you do tags?
Show threadThommyDec 3, 2022
@davew @boysmithers basically just like users. You add .rss to the end of where you’d normally see the tag, eg https://mastodon.social/tags/synths.rss

and specific user AND specific tag:

@luka @thomasjwebb @davew very cool! Is it instance-specific though?
Show threadLuka Prin/ce LucijaDec 3, 2022

@boysmithers @thomasjwebb @davew not sure I understand the question.

the above syntax (/@user/tagged/hashtag) shows all posts made by that user tagged with that hashtag (no boosts, not sure about replies)

this works on any mastodon instance.

@boysmithers @luka @davew it’s not just that instance but any federated with it afaict

@thomasjwebb @luka @davew aha! That makes sense, cheers.

@boysmithers @thomasjwebb @davew

/tags/hashtag
- all posts that the instance have 'seen'

/@user/tagged/hashtag
- all posts by that user on that instance

@luka sorry, I think I meant to direct that question to @thomasjwebb
