I’ve gotten to a point in my privacy journey where it’s less about moving towards private options, and more about relaxing and having some fun with what I can do.
I put off messing around with RSS for a while. I simply didn’t have a significant need for it. However, after finding no good options to monitor various Lemmy communities without logging in, I decided to try out an RSS reader.
I settled on Feeder as my RSS reader, despite a few missing features I would like. I added my first Lemmy community as a feed, to try it out. I was immediately surprised how well it worked.
I also added other feeds, such as Tails News, and I was happy with that. I could monitor all the communities I needed to.
Then, I noticed one day, there was an RSS button for my Lemmy inbox. This is where I was really pleased: I can view my notifications without the need to log in, all in the same place.
Lemmy and RSS are both incredible, and I truly believe RSS is the hidden backbone of the internet. I love it, and maybe you should give it a try too!
(Ahem P.S. if anyone has an RSS reader as good as Feeder for Android that fixes this issue, please let me know)
Maybe a dumb thought but I just realised if Lemmy does RSS maybe I could add Lemmy feeds to my Friendica account. ??
I got this post by rss so YES,
But do not friendica allow you to join community by Activity pub? (Benefit is you can reply directly from there)
Oh hmm Ill try and find out .

This is cool . thanks for the tip. I now have my #lemmy, #Mastodon and #Friendica feed almost in one with #Fedilab . I just need to sort out my #privacysettings (and remember to get off the #Madridmetro at #nuevosministerios
Yes, friendica shows Lemmy communities as regular friendica groups.
how well does it handle lemmy’s multi-level responses?
As standard replies and sub-replies. It works fine, though the ranking algo didn’t work last I checked.
