Anyone have a nice OPML of micro blog feeds that they would care to share?

(Asking for a friend.)

@JohnPhilpin Here's mine. It's actually XML but most feed readers can handle it. www.inoreader.com/stream/us...

@amerpie Thank you - and now incorporated into my MicroBlog Blogroll.

@warner Thank you - not so much looking for people to follow - as directories of OPML/XML Blogrolls that I can add to my blogroll.

The idea is to add as many people from MicroBlog into the directory so that anyone can pull and use and if they want - and then edit down to who they really want to follow. (My logic being that I would rather have a list that I can cull - than manually building up one by one)

🖇️ The list I have so far Is only 36 - so I KNOW there are a LOT more - I just don’t want to manually add them all ... 😳

That said, happy to if someone pings me their feed.

IMPORTANT

Of course - for this to work people have to be able to access only the Micro Blog OPML - without the other blogrolls I have in MicroBlog. Currently cluttering up the download.

For example, when you follow my 'recommends' list - it takes you to a rollup (I guess a 'roll' up makes sense in some ways for a 'Blogroll' - but no less frustrating - of 137 'recommendations'.

Another 'problem' / design issue ^^^ that ^^^ link breaks - so you have to go here and then download as far as I can see.

I have highlighted the issue to @manton

@JohnPhilpin this is such a great idea. As someone super new to the platform, this really helps. I'd love to be added as well, if that's alright with you!

@jedda aahh - that one was a funny one that I didn’t understand and pinged @odd about it - maybe he has already fixed the issue. Thank you - I will remove that one.

@JohnPhilpin I don’t understand. I don’t have the oddjob.no domain anymore. I’m using oddz.blog, and have been for a while.

NB: I was actually summoned by a strange company some years ago, and they asked me to make an email address on the domain, because supposedly a client of theirs had the domain before, and he had been locked out from a service because the domain had expired. They were somewhat threatening in their correspondence, so I didn’t reply.

@odd i think it might have been a glitch in the matrix - when i revisited earlier - the replies had all gone and the feed resolved to micro.blog - I think we are all good.

@JohnPhilpin Ok, thanks for letting me know. I didn’t read (properly) about the replies the first time.

@warner I was guessing and couldn’t think why that came up rather than facetwitter et al
