Not that it should matter to you, but if you’re blogging on Micro.blog and don’t have an RSS feed for just your long posts, you probably won’t make it into my RSS reader. I recommend using automatic categorization + the Feeds plugin to make it super easy to subscribe to your long-form posts via RSS.

@jarrod Although I don’t really do long posts here (those go on HeyDingus proper), here’s my Feeds page.

@jarrod hrm, I’m actually not sure if I make that discoverable (though I do have that feed). Would you mind checking? I’m generally not all that into the idea of a “feeds” page for myself, but I do want subscription services to be able to properly discover the feeds I offer when you enter json.blog …

@jsonbecker Not that I can find. And Reeder/Feedly doesn’t seem to sniff it out either. If not on a Feeds page, maybe a link on the Archive page?

@jarrod I’m guessing it will from this page. I think I just have to add that feed to my baseof template or perhaps my index page, specifically. It’s a good catch.

@jsonbecker To be fair, Reeder/Feedly doesn’t pick up the category feeds that I have enabled either, unless I paste in the specific category page URL. I wonder if there’s anything that @manton (on the site side) or @robb (on the plug-in side) could do to make sure those surface.

@jsonbecker Oh hey, that did it! 🙌 Sounds like an easy fix, would you mind sharing what you did? I get intimidated rooting around too much in the template files.

@jarrod on Micro.blog it’d be very easy to add them all programmatically. Each page generates the RSS it lists here in almost every theme– using a range through site categories in that format would be fairly trivial.

@jarrod basically just by hand added my two macro feeds to my head.html partial:

<!-- Macro RSS available on all pages -->
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://json.blog/categories/macro/feed.xml" title="json.blog - Macro Posts Only RSS">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/json" href="https://json.blog/categories/macro/feed.json" title="json.blog - Macro Posts Only JSON">

@jsonbecker Bookmarked, thank you!
