I finally figured out how to manually generate RSS feeds so I can have separate ones for different kinds of posts!
This is a useful step in making it so I can use my site instead of social media — now I can POSSE shorter notes, people can follow what they want, and I don't have to worry about "spamming" the blog feed
https://reillyspitzfaden.com/notes/2025/01/multiple-rss-feeds/
I have all the RSS feeds listed here (https://reillyspitzfaden.com/feeds/), or you can follow all posts at this link: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/feed.xml
If you already follow my blog feed, it hasn't changed — I just added some additional ones. I also cleaned up the inclusion of the "reply by email" link — now I can have that on the full-text RSS feed, and have the "share" and "like" buttons only on the website.
Molly White has a great writeup (https://www.citationneeded.news/posse/) of the POSSE (publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere) model here, and I'm planning to do more stuff like this in the weeks to come
@reillypascal I've been looking for something like this! Hope I can figure out how to implement something similar for my sites
@hissquiet it's a lot of fun and very nice! If you have questions about this kind of thing, I like talking to people about it
What I'd really like to see is some way to publish on-own-site, auto-cross-post to fedi, and have comments copy back over to own-site.
This doesn't seem like it would be super-difficult or even require patches to fedi software. (I'll write it myself eventually, if I get through all the other items higher in the queue.)
@woozle @hissquiet I was just talking to a friend who was showing me how to get comments from fedi with webmentions. I don't know anything about how to get it to automatically post to fedi, but I feel like I've seen people do it and both are definitely on my list of things to look into!
@reillypascal @hissquiet I do have code for posting to fedi, so that's the easy part. ^.^
@reillypascal I just did this exact thing! https://malici.ous.computer/@shellsharks/statuses/01JJ7WV0J48C9J00D6YJEXCNTT 
@shellsharks nice! Yeah I know for me that's going to make me feel more free to write what/how I want
@reillypascal great idea! I do POSSE as well. I don't mind original posts by me or reposts being in my main feed but then I also don't really do any other blogging except the occasional article. However, I don't often do replies as POSSE but I might if I separate them from my main feed like you are doing.
@reillypascal ok this rules - seriously considering shifting from entirely hand-coded to 11ty at this point
@patatas nice! I made the exact same shift back in November, and if you have any questions I'm happy to answer
@reillypascal thanks! I did spin up a separate site recently using a really basic 11ty blog template, and it definitely took me a bit to get my head around it, but it (mostly) works now … having said that, I’m sure I will run into some more puzzles the moment I try to do something even slightly more complex ;)
