we're now publishing an RSS feed (and a JSON feed!) for every page on cohost! we're setting the relevant <link rel="alternate" /> tags on profile pages, so you can just put the page URL into your feed reader to subscribe!

there's a couple things that we haven't made final decisions on (namely: there's still some open questions about how we display shares), and we're open to any feedback you have there.

we're planning to add RSS feeds for tag pages at a later date as well.

thanks for using cohost!

Well this sure makes me feel all kinds of ways.

Once upon a time, when the internet was still mostly nerds, RSS and RSS readers were the technology for keeping up with blogs. Then some bright spark realised you could create a feed for audio and put it on your iPod. I’m pretty sure there was a big gap between that and podcast apps that fully hide that it’s RSS under the hood. In my heart, podcasts are like RSS but for listening

With all the talk about Twitter and social media going on, I felt really inspired to do a comic about RSS feeds. This is a really barebones guide but I hope it helps you stay updated with your favourite webcomics, artists and websites.

The nice thing about RSS feeds is that almost any kind of site has one, so if you wanted you could add user feeds from tumblr, twitter, mastodon, etc. here’s some helpful guides on how to add those (1) (2)

I hope you found this little guide helpful. I’m just a simple guy who’s passionate about RSS feeds, comics and staying updated using both. Go forth and make the feed of your dreams!

we use Liferea personally, because it is free software and runs locally on our computer, so we aren't giving our data to a cloud service or being charged money for a trivial task. pretty sure it's Linux-only but there are alternatives on all platforms, they just might be a little dated because RSS fell out of popularity after Google's bullshit a while back.
