@jsonbecker I need to bring my Micro.blog timeline back into RSS. I was doing this before but stopped when I took a step back recently—RSS makes everything better.
@pimoore as much as timeline sync is a nice idea that keeps coming up, each time I see it I think, "I've got that." I'm shocked how people who follow 3-4x more accounts than me are willing to read somewhere other than RSS so it's a little easier to write 2 replies a day.
@jsonbecker That’s a very good point, I hadn’t considered it in that way. For me it’s even more for the fact I live in RSS—same as you, clearly—so it makes total sense to have the timeline there with everything else I read. It also gives me the benefit of marking something from MB to read later in Reeder. There are many times I can’t read on the spot, but don’t want to have to bookmark a post or reply.
@jsonbecker I’ve often joked that without RSS I wouldn’t be on the internet. I’m only half joking… ;)
@pete @jsonbecker Using RSS for Micro.blog, is there a particular feed you've used or have you just followed each account individually? I'd tried following my feed awhile back but it included replies and was pretty unusable so ended up following a few accounts organized into a folder in my RSS.
@dennyhenke you can follow the same thing you’d see when looking at the feed in Micro.blog with micro.blog/feeds/YOURUSERNAME.json
@dennyhenke you can turn off replies in your feed. It will do so on micro.blog as well. Or you can use filters in your RSS system. For example, in feedbin mark as read content that starts with @. But I don’t follow so much that replies bug me. It’s probably the best way to discover bloggers I may want to follow. It’s also how I saw this reply.
@denny @jsonbecker Seconding leaving the replies visible, it’s also how I’ve discovered almost all my follows here. I see replies to new people, or their replies in threads, and can immediately tap to their profile and follow accordingly. Works great!
