Huge thanks to fedi.tips for their original post! For anyone who's main method of curating what they read centers around Mastodon, the ability to follow RSS feeds from there is a huge quality of life upgrade. From fedi's article:
- Create a new post but don’t publish it yet Mention the RSS Parrot Fediverse account @birb@rss-parrot.net - Mention the RSS address you want to follow
- Publish the post (it doesn’t have to be a public post, DMs will work as well)
- RSS Parrot will create a new Fediverse account that mirrors the contents of the RSS address you provided, and then reply to you with a link to the new account
Follow this new account to follow the RSS feed
This method works for any Fediverse platform that supports microblogging, including Mastodon and many other Fedi platforms.
