Hey folks. The internet needs more websites you can check when you log on. I made a site called sortition social that selects a random feed from a database to be featured. Every day a new feed is added, and stays on the page for seven days before it falls off the end of the timeline to be replaced by a new one. It's social media by lottery!
Click here to submit your RSS feed (please be nice to my web server)
hot dog it hasn't even been five minutes and I've got 12 submissions already
Thank you! This is a great idea.
Sorry for a double-submission; I pasted the wrong URL for one.
going to start embedding my content within the RSS feed itself…! really neat idea.
What RSS reader are you all using on Firefox? I use Smart RSS, but it's slow as hell and you can't nest folders.
is it fine if i try and upload the feed for my website, or should I make a dedicated feed for this sort of thing? amazing idea btw
Is there anywhere I'd be able to keep an eye out for updates on this once Cohost goes down?
I'll post an update to my blog when it's out: https://suricrasia.online/blog/
just text articles, or are feeds for art, music, etc wanted too
https://downloads.marginalia.nu/exports/feeds.csv
marginalia search keeps a log of all the rss feeds it's indexed, could be interesting to comb through!
Would you consider adding an RSS feed to your site as well? It feels a little ironic that there isn't one that I can follow in my existing RSS reader, which is already my "check the web every day" mechanism.
thank you! I went to add it to my feed reader and had an "oh no" moment
the link tag in the header? it should be there. might need to do a hard refresh (recently changed the cache control to be 10 minutes)
Ah, so it is, and yeah it did require a hard refresh, even though it was way more than 10 minutes since I looked last. Is it possible that the etag also didn't get updated? This stuff can get super fiddly.
website hates my rss feed. had to write it myself since i don't use a blogging platform so there's probably something wrong with it but i can't spot what http://www.kyrla.xyz/kyrla-rss.xml
ok so the feed is probably fine and it's an extension of whatever the hell is wrong between my hover domain and github pages that it doesn't show up on firefox android. will see what i can do
ok i fixed it and the website is telling me it's been added. problem was: CNAME was specifying http:// solution was: remove the http:// and enable https on github pages. whether or not the feed is formatted properly and actually works remains to be seen, but firefox mobile can now find my website
