To make the notifications timely you'd need to request the feed very often, which is super inefficient - 99% of requests would produce no new notification.

I know this, and that is why i do not (my usual pull rate is once in 6-12 hours).

Making a RSS feed is not difficult especially as we already produce them for other content.

thank you. to me rss is one of the best things possible. instead of me manually checking each website, i just get the content i ask for, in cliennt i prefer, from where i can open it however i feel (for example, with threadiverse communities, i diectly subscribe to community's rss from their base instance, which also kinda distributes the load).

I remember their appointment from brodie's video on this, and iirc, they were someone who has been in community for ~20 years, and they also had some kind of vision disability (not 100% sure), because of which there was hope that gnome would do more investments on accessibilty front. Which to gnome's credit, they have the best among other wayland folks, but this feels to sson. if it had been a year or 2, it would have made sense (they already were an old person, so time was not favoring them), because it is reasonable for such posts 2 change in that timeframe. the previous director also left in 5-6 months, then this person in 4, it really speaks something about gnome's board

Also, is it possible to get a feed of user's comments as well. that is the thing even lemmy does not have. (I partially use rss feeds for archival purposes)

if i have my facts correctly, taliban as a whole was funded by us to overpower the then russian influenced govt.

Is there some kind of authentication you have to do to access this, or is it simply just a big long string of characters so that it is hard to guess?

precisely. it is nearly 150 digits (alpha-numeric). it is convinient to get notification (to be honest most things) via rss, and for modding, you can program a frequent rss refresh, and have some loud external notification, at least in theory.

There is potentially sensitive information in an inbox such as private messages

in theory, yes, but almost nobody uses threadiverse private messages for like private private chat. Many already know that instance admins can in theory read them.

RSS feed for a user

This does exist!

pardon me, i completely missed the button (and it is not a ui problem, it is nice front and center. i just goofed up)

Should i make issues for these? I planned to do that earlier, but just asked here first in case they already exist and i am just missing.

 

Is there currently any way to get rss feeds for above? on lemmy, we can do notifications, and on lemmings.world, ridokusage implemented rss for saved stuff - https://lemmings.world/post/15407036, https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyPersonalRss. As I understand, server admins need to run the latter, and it is not lemmings.world specific (though i am not sure if it may have some lemmy specific code).

And afaik, there is no rss for user's created stuff (one could turn notification's on for user, and then use notification rss to get this can be a valid workaround).

And I also had a question about posts' rss. on lemmy, the rss for a post also has votes and comments count for a post. assuming this information is available for a post, can this be also implemented in piefed?

on lemmy rss feed starts like
