Fun fact: Every Mastodon account has an RSS feed. Just add ".rss" to the end of their public profile URL.
Not this one for me https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission. It always gives me an error "Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String java.lang.String.toString()' on a null object reference"
Seems it was temporary maybe?
I add .rss (note the period) and it works fine.
Yeah, tried it that way and it doesn't work, maybe is my RSS reader.
I've had trouble doing this for bot accounts hosted on sportsbots.xyz. Not actually sure if it's possible with them or not as you can't access their feeds from that site.
For instance, I use mastodon.world and can access Fabrizio Romano's feed via mastodon.world/@FabrizioRomano@sportsbots.xyz - but adding .rss on the end doesn't seem to work, nor does sportsbots.xyz/@FabrizioRomano.rss
Every Subreddit works the same way as well.
I wonder when they'll kill this feature
So does every Tumblr blog! Just add /RSS to the end of the URL in question. This also works in conjunction with other link modifiers like tags so for example if you want to follow an artist on Tumblr and only see their work and not anything they reblog, or you only want to see stuff from a certain fandom.
Keep in mind that this only works with blog links that look like [blog].Tumblr.com or [blog].com, not tumblr.com/[blog]. it also doesn't capture tags which is kinda half of tumblr's main form of interaction, but I think if you're interested in that you're the sort of person who actually uses Tumblr and doesn't just want to keep tabs on one or two artists you really like. Then again that could actually just be an interface thing and an actual RSS feed reader would show them as opposed to my kinda jank thunderbird setup
(I think you can also do this the other way around and turn RSS feed updates into Tumblr posts using like IFTTT, but I have questions for you if you're doing that for something that isn't an update blog)
...or you could wait and see if automattic ever does good on their promise to add activitypub integration into Tumblr.
Also on the subject of Tumblr adjacent things, ao3 also has an RSS feed button. For both authors, fics, and tags. Haven't used it in years but it still works according to the random author updates I get.
