@lislegaard
feeds that only include the past couple of news might as well not exist at all

@ki

thanks for the input!

so if you were to subscribe to a blog with let's say 75 posts.

1. What would you prefer happen
2. Would you go through and read or mark all as read or something else?

@lislegaard
It depends on the blog.
There are feeds where I'm interested in the majority of existing content and where I want to go through posts one by one.
Then there are feeds where I'm only interested in future updates.
There are feeds I want to filter, e.g. by tag.
And then there's the distinction between "unread" and "new."

These things can be handled on the client side though, but only if no information is omitted.

@lislegaard why not serving 3 or 4 named feeds?
i dont need a machine readable format, i´m not a machine.
i also need no content, i´m not an ad company. 😉

@PersonM

Well you could read this as the content of the feed.

My feed is handwritten so multiple feeds would be too much work, or would force me to automate.

@lislegaard hehe, some language quirks here. my english poetry gets a little shitty, when i´m tired.
i meant the term "content" itself.
i love stories, thoughts, images, ideas, videos, little sidenotes.
the term "content" is made by advertising agencies. its the buzzword for "lure clicking folks to a site with no-matter-what". the same corpo poeps invented seo and terms like "influencers".
meh.

@PersonM

no worries, i also hate the "contentification" of everything! maybe it is time to try take back the words you used here!

also there is something i hate when companies capture a format. "i have a substack", "let's make a youtube video", "on her newest tiktok she talks about", "in his tweet he wrote."

@lislegaard I know that really big feeds would have few megabytes of data, which is still less than the JS sent by modern “apps”

@shinspiegel

Yeah the storage is not the problem here. I was more thinking that downloading 100 posts just leads to "mark all as read".

@lislegaard May be naive of me, but a good RSS reader should be able to detect what is new and what is "old", right?

On the UX perspective this wouldn't make a difference, right? Or did I lost something on this?

@lislegaard @Nangpa There is something called https://doi.org/10.17487/RFC5005 rfc5005 «Feed Paging and Archiving», but I'm not sure how many clients support that

Thats an old file transfer access problem and I don't use old FTP anymore 😉
