Is it possible to use RSS feeds to access my subscribed communities on Beehaw? In Reddit, one of the best things I found for creating a "feed overview" (I use Protopage) was the ability to create an RSS feed for any subreddit by simply adding .rss to the end of the URL.

I've tried doing that here, but it doesn't work and a search didn't turn up any discussion about it in this support community. Curious if something like that is possible in Beehaw?

i haven't tested it or how it works with a feed reader, but it should be possible through this tiny .rss button here, atop each community. (note these are lemmy features, so if they don't work you'd need to file a bug report with the devs)

Aha! I totally missed that tiny RSS icon. It does allow me to download an XML feed - doesn’t seem to work in Protopage, but I will try some things to see if it will work in a standard RSS reader. Thank you!

Edit - It actually does work in Protopage if done in a browser (Chrome in my case) on my Windows machine. Wouldn’t work on the iPad. I also figured out how I missed that RSS icon - it is invisible in Chrome using the dark theme - it’s clickable if you know it’s there 😊
