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

I have all the RSS feeds listed here (reillyspitzfaden.com/feeds/), or you can follow all posts at this link: 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 (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

@reillypascal @hissquiet

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. ^.^
