#Fediforum: "Talk of #feeds was everywhere. I made a note to myself throughout the conference.
It's amazing how big the feeds theme is. Feed ownership, customization, and sharing. All powered by #openprotocols."

You can follow blogs, news and YouTube creators with a built-in feed reader. It’s like RSS never left. (Because it didn’t.)

Community Feeds are changing!

We’re rolling out updates to our 62 Community Feeds.

Community Feeds bring together topical knowledge across the open social web. They won’t be going anywhere, don’t worry, but they’ll be getting a fresh lick of paint before we launch Channel.org - including changing their name from Feeds to Channels.

Keep an eye out for updates on Channel.org. It’s coming very soon

Web feeds (https://ellyloel.com/web-feeds/)

I wish there was some innovation in RSS and feed readers... or am I missing something I should try out? #RSS #Feeds

→ Algorithms are breaking how we think

“[A]n increasing number of people are so used to algorithmically-generated #feeds that they no longer care to have a self-directed #experience that they are in #control of. [I]t feels like large swaths of people have forgotten to exercise their own #agency. That is what I mean by algorithmic #complacency. More and more people don’t seem to know or #care how to view the #world without a #computer #algorithm guiding what they #see.”

Today is the day that Tapestry from @Iconfactory is available!

I’ll be giving it a try the new few days then will be writing up a review on my blog.

You can download the app on the App Store here: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/tapestry-by-iconfactory/id6448078074

For anyone using the @surf beta and enjoy the #WorldOfWallpapers posts that I do, you can now enjoy those via the Surf app itself by using the link below.

https://surf.social/feed/surf%2Fcustom%2F01jjdephk6vybfwxe5v61h25c4

You can also contribute to that Surf feed by simply using the #WorldOfWallpapers hashtag in your posts and that content will then show up in the Surf feed.

If you haven't gotten an invite to the Surf beta yet, feel free to DM me as I have invite codes I can provide to get you invited quicker!

@salvomic it’s so easy to reboost your content from @surf. I can see all your accounts #feeds #surf

If you're wanting to get into the @surf beta testing, please let me know! @marci and @mike and the entire @Flipboard team are allowing us to test referral codes within the app.

Just send me a quick DM that you'd like to give it a try and I can get you a referral code.

We'd love to have you help us give the app a good test and report any issues or bugs.

Huge thank you to @marci and the rest of the @Flipboard team for providing me with an early invite to @surf

I'm anxious to check out the app, give it a try and see what it's all about as well as provide as much feedback as possible.

@Flipboard CEO @mike says in a decentralized social world, the internet will be less about websites and more about feeds, which is why he and the team have launched a new app, @surf. Read more at @theverge. #Surf #Flipboard #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Feeds #Tech #Technology https://flip.it/fE-CND

Question on Atom feeds:

I understand that if I have two feeds with overlapping sets of entries (ex: a main feed and a category feed), the common entries must have the same ID in both feeds.

But what if I have two feeds with different forms of the same set of articles? Like a full-text feed and a summary feed? Should the full-text entry and summary-only entry for the same article share an Atom ID?

Put another way, does the unique ID identify the *canonical form *of the entry, or the feed's particular view of it?

(My specific use case at the moment: two feeds used to format the same articles as really-short summaries for Bluesky and as kinda-short summaries for Mastodon and company.)

I am switching from my newsletter subscriptions by email to feed subscriptions when possible. Please, for news, newsletters, etc., use feeds!

Feeds, feeds, otherwise we are lost.

By the way, @Vivaldi has a great RSS button in its location bar.

Messing with XML::LibXML has been fine the last 5+ years, but I think it's time to upgrade to something proper.

What do people recommend?

Preferences are for Postgres, and bare metal/VM install over a container. PHP/Python fine, would rather not deal with Node.
