Was thinking through a web app idea, then realized it was pretty darn close to FriendFeed (which i loved) and upon doing more reminiscing, realized Micro.blog isn’t too far from FF. Just need the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds and other services beyond Mastodon.
@endonend Just in case you didn’t know, you can subscribe to many blogs by searching for their domain name in Micro.blog on the web, and it will find the feed.
@manton Hmm, this is a fascinating dimension to add here. I will be experimenting.
[edit]: aww, it doesn't work for this one https://beautifulmars.tumblr.com/
@billbennettnz depending where toy are and in what app head over to discover / find... Instead of a user name search for an url... When it pops up... Follow it
@garo @billbennettnz That one works for me. On the web, click Discover → search icon → enter beautifulmars.tumblr.com. No "http" or other parts of the URL. Basically it works when the domain name is someone's identity, like a personal blog.
@endonend I'm dreaming up a modern service that tries to make RSS subscribing more social. Will be alpha-testing in July if you wanna try
