die ATmosphere, das fediverse, fühlen sich gerade ungeheuer lebendig und dynamisch an, überall poppen interessante dinge auf. gute zeiten zum ins internet schreiben gerade.
wenn ich potenzial sehe, sehe ich potenzial.
There are many like it, but this one is mine
Remove the guesswork from feed discovery.
One must keep the feeds in order.
Some fun updates I've made to my personal website
Feeds are now separated in All, Featured, and Linked.
I am also a bit of an expert in strategies that involve no ads, no sponsors, and no monetisation.
A web-based RSS reader for humans and an RSS aggregator for third-party clients.
The infuriating case of an incrementing GUID.
No sense of irony.
A good idea, badly executed.
Another deep exploration into ATProto and implementing lexicons
My little weekend experiment to bring micro updates to my personal site
LLM-TXT provides tools to generate files from Farcaster, Bluesky, RSS feeds, and Git repos, building on my earlier llm-fid project.

A small reflection and set of plans for making a ripple in a big lake
Pushing forward the consumption of content without the invasion of privacy
RSS has been my preferred way to read content on the web for over a decade now (RIP Google Reader). It's a clean, efficient and simple way to curate your own news and content from across the web.
Let's go back to when social media was about people
"In a media landscape dominated by algorithmic feeds that aim to manipulate and extract, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is choose to read what you want, when you want, without anyone watching over your shoulder." Molly White has been using RSS for over a decade and would like you to join her...
If you only post on social media, I won't see it. If you don't have an RSS feed, I won't follow it, I won't subscribe to it. I don't want want your app because I don't want a homescreen full of apps for publications and platforms.
RSS has always been the best way to consume news online. I first used Google Reader soon after it launched (RIP), have cycled through Feedbin, Inoreader and NewsBlur and the slow, orderly chronologically ordered list of items the form provides puts the user in control of what they consume and the pace at which they consume it.
Styling my RSS feeds is something that has been on my infinitely long list of things to do on this website. Sometimes I removed it, sometimes I added it back. However, I recently came across Darek Kay's blog post and decided that it was time to finally style both my RSS feeds, and my sitemap.
Everything shared from my site to Mastodon runs out of a single all activity RSS feed. You're welcome to subscribe to it, but it's formatted with social syndication in mind — emojis, hashtags and truncation that match that use case. This feed is populated from a fairly verbose processContent collection. It also populates my sitemap and search index since there's plenty of overlap in format and the data being handled. Anyways.
The risk of the open internet is that someone will exploit your well-intentioned openness thoughtlessly. That’s how the internet slowly stops being open.
Showing more love for Astro, now that we can finally render MDX in RSS content.
an apology for the annoying RSS tomfoolery that's been going on
No, not that kind. I'm thinking of the indie web kind we're seeing lately. The kind that incorporates content from around the web that the creator of the site cares with and engages with. I find this to be complementary to the popular and well-explained POSSE concept. I've adopted this approach to populating numerous parts of my site, written using Eleventy, via frequent rebuilds.
I follow and subscribe to a whole bunch of blogs and less and less high-volume news via RSS. It's one of my absolute favorite mediums for keeping up with and reading content on the web.
Podcasts are far and away the great example of how RSS can empower creators. Today’s thought experiment: How can we bring these benefits to written content?
Leider stellt der Zoologische Garten Berlin, sowie der Tierpark Berlin und das Aquarium kein RSS Nachrichtenfeed zur Verfügung. Da ich gerne mit RSS-Readern meine Nachrichten individuell zusammenstelle, habe ich eine Lösung entwickelt, um diese Feeds für alle Interessierten verfügbar zu machen.

After posting and discussing my post from yesterday with Nicolas Hoizey I decided to explore his suggested path and explore using a GitHub action to handle posts to Mastodon, rather than Make.
I wrote a basic syndication tool in Next.js to automate sharing items from configured RSS feeds to Mastodon. This tool works by leveraging a few basic configurations, the Mastodon API and a (reasonably) lightweight script that creates a JSON cache when initialized and posts new items on an hourly basis.
