Mastodon which is incredibly hot, supports RSS beautifully.

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

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 sorry, dumb question, but why is that great? I mean i see i can read toots in an rss reader, but i already have too many apps made for reading toots. I know you can use it to trigger stuff like ifttt for automation. I have Rss feeds i’d like to import into mastodon, which would seem to make more sense, but isn’t supported

@AlexGizis
Telegram has a chat-like mode and a broadcast-follow mode because there is actually demand for it.

With ActivityPub having greater overhead than RSS from the sending server, I'm all for large broadcast-subscribe cases using RSS instead, though it would be good if the Fedi contact details were in the RSS data.
