Is there a way to view Kbin posts in an RSS feed?
One of the main issues I have with the Fediverse is that I can't view any of the posts on Fedi. sites in my RSS feed. is there any way to fix this, and if not I would really like to see that feature added somehow.
Only this for now

https://kbin.social/rss?user=ernest@ernest Doesnt look like this is valid RSS though. https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkbin.social%2Frss%3Fmagazine%3DkbinMeta
Not sure if that will cause any issues. Didn't know this existed yet! Thanks!
Hmm yeah, it may be a little broken/incomplete? I was actually starting to work on a scraper in beautiful soup. I may carry on a bit with that anyway as a personal learning experience?
The html generated for kbin pages is friendly and easy to parse. Kudos to whomever worked on that!
oh cool, any idea how to use this?
also, so cool that the dev of all of Kbin responds personallyI know some folks have used RSS for many things on user accounts as well. Sometimes there could be a reason you cant subscribe to a user or magazine and RSS is a way around that. I subscribe to my mastodon rss feed just for fun too.
using the RSS feed you could link it to a blog or personal website as well and share your posts in a way to others who may not be on the same site as you. Like sharing your posts on your websites so others can see on your site what it is you post so they dont have to have an account as well on kbin for example.
Or you can get a RSS firehose of accounts together to keep up on things outside of the community to ensure you dont miss something in your /m/sub feed.
Thanks! I was looking for this.
I don’t think kbin offers this yet. On mastodon you can add .rss at the end of the username like
