RSS Enterprise: bsky.app/…

Before (a)social media, the web used to be social. Each and every Web 2.0 site used to offer its info pebbles also as an RSS feed. RSS (really simple syndication) is a standardized XML format (extensible markup language) that an RSS reader app can import and display. Some of this information infrastructure has survived and can be revived by the web app RSS Enterprise on this page.

The primary use case is Mastodon. But as it turns out, RSS feeds provided by at least BlueSky, tumblr, WordPress, SpeakerDeck, Pinterest, and Wordpress can also be displayed here.

For Mastodon in specific, there are a few special features:

• You can click Mastodon tags to load the tag’s content. Try #SciFiEtiquette or #trendytoots
  Discover more insights at the tag #RSSEnterprise itself.
• You can click a Mastodon user to display her feed.
  Try @mprove or @chronohh
• You can drag any RSS feed URL from any web page to the cover above and drop it into the river. This does also work for Mastodon users and hash tags, as well as for blogspot, pinterest, substack, and tumblr.
  The menu command Edit > Paste of an RSS address is also possible, but less exciting.

Of course, you can always fiddle around with the parameters in the browser’s address bar:

stay curious – share the links – have fun! Matthias
