Micro.one will not have source feeds: manton.org

@manton I’m confused because I don’t understand the “plumbing” you’re deciding to omit. Does this mean one won’t be able to follow these blogs via #RSS?

I hope that’s not true. I can’t in good conscience call something a #blog if I can’t follow it in my reader.

@manton Such a good idea. I’m in the midst of making stuff for TIL, and a fair amount of the high-priority resources are centred around Sources; it’s an important part of the big package but, as is the case with power features, takes a degree of work to understand.

@manton This is a good omission to keep the product separate. Micro.blog effectively would then be Micro.one+

@manton I hope RSS feeds aren't impacted -- this phrase "without external feeds and cross-posting to other services, though” is confusing.

@mjgardner @manton it seems to remove the feature where if you post to some other social network (or like in my case, to my own homegrown liveblog at liveblog.nitinkhanna.com) and have the RSS feed drop stuff into your microblog blog. Also something something about cross posting via RSS feeds. ActivityPub will work so I guess that’s something. And I guess outgoing RSS feeds will also work for feed readers?

@mjgardner Oh no, RSS feeds for your blog is definitely still part of it. This is for the feature that essentially merges multiple RSS feeds into your Micro.blog profile.

@amit It is confusing. Micro.blog does so many things with RSS feeds, I need to better document this.

@manton thanks for the clarification! Really considering doing the sub now. I had the 10 day free trial but deleted my account just in case it charged me. I’m pretty interested in the idea of posting to your own site then it goes to other apps. Not reliant on any single point of failure - assuming you can export your data at any point?

@manton A belated (because I just dug back through to re-read this post and so just saw the responses) thank you for the responses to the other people asking about this. I also read this as "RSS not supported", so it's good to see that that's not the case.
