#webfeed — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #webfeed, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Beyond aggregated and summarized stats, in 2025 I met a few amazing people (you know who you are), and started a few projects. Most of these projects started with an idea, or recognizing a problem, that inspired invention.

    Sometimes the ideas came from observations, shared, questioned, distilled into insights, and sometimes new creations.

    During one such conversation over coffee, James (https://jamesg.blog/) and I noticed that our Spotify “daylist” list names were often quite entertaining, despite their brevity.

    We mused whether it was worth keeping track of the particularly fun or interesting names, even knowing they were automatically generated.

    In September 2025, James created a page on his site, a simple HTML list of a few his fun daylists names, and shared it:
    * https://jamesg.blog/daylists

    With a single real world #indieweb example, it was enough to stub a wiki page:
    * https://indieweb.org/daylists

    A little over two months later, during the weekend of 2025 IndieWeb Black Friday Create Day: Build Don’t Buy, I followed James’s example and built my own daylists page with a similar list of names of daylists, adding the datetimes when I had taken screenshots of my daylists.

    * https://tantek.com/daylists

    Realizing it was a page of items listed in reverse chronological order with datetime stamps, it made sense to mark it up as an h-feed so a social reader could theoretically subscribe to it. The list items had the minimum viable information for h-entry markup: content and a datetime. Minimal information meant only minimal markup was necessary: one nested HTML time element, and a couple of class names.

    The list item of just the daylist name I started with:

    <!-- a daylist item -->
    <li>
      cyberpunk synthwave wednesday early morning
    </li>
    <!-- -->

    The name’s coarse textual day and time of day was a handy bit of text to markup with the time element with a numerical date-time for parsers. That plus two h-entry class names:

    <!-- minimal h-entry markup for a daylist item -->
    <li class="h-entry">
      cyberpunk synthwave
      <time class="dt-published" datetime="2025-10-15 07:59">wednesday early morning</time>
    </li>
    <!-- -->

    As linked on my daylists page, that plus a little h-feed wrapper is enough to make a web feed that a social reader like Monocle can parse and display:
    * https://monocle.p3k.io/preview?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftantek.com%2Fdaylists

    Minimal incremental markup added to an existing human readable HTML page.

    No separate feed file needed. No XML, XSLT, or JavaScript either.

    The HTML is the feed.

    A feed that social readers, like Monocle, or Artemis (that James wrote) can directly follow.

    Full circle.

    And the year before that, James blogged about how publishing an h-feed is also a more efficient, and easier to maintain, method of supporting other formats:

  6. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) là định dạng web feed giúp cập nhật nội dung website theo chuẩn XML. Dùng để theo dõi blog, tin tức, podcast mà không cần truy cập trực tiếp. RSS giữ nội dung tập trung, không bị loãng như mạng xã hội. Dùng kết hợp với trình đọc như Feedly, Inoreader. #RSS #WebFeed #ContentSyndication #Blogging #Feedly #Inoreader #RSS #TheoDõiNộiDung #Blog #Podcast

  7. (In case anyone is wondering, yes, this stack against #Mozilla for their decision to drop native #RSS and #Atom #webFeed support to appease #Google.)

  8. Bonnes pratiques pour générer un flux RSS

  9. Not a thing I really like to do, but I thought about it for more than a year while noticing a lot of aggressive bots in my server logs. Hopefully people are still reading blogs.

  10. So two big questions:

    1. If clients are now integrating #RSS with the #SocialWeb, when are they going to start integrating #email and #InstantMessages too?
    2. At what point do these clients stop being clients and start being #webfeed browsers?
  11. @nicosomb j'utilise RSS Proxy, un outil 100% gratuit et sans limitation de génération de flux RSS, il s'agit d'un projet Open Source, self hostable :) rssproxy.migor.org/

  12. Den syndikalistiska tidningen Arbetaren är bra på det här med websyndikering. Who would have guessed ;)

    De har länk både till gamla godingen RSS men också till sitt mastodonkonto!

    Kolla in deras hemsida:

    arbetaren.se/

    Eller mastodon @tidningen_arbetaren

    Hoppas fler tidningar och sidor tar efter.

  13. Some of the #Fediverse software is not setting #CORS headers for their #Atom & #RSS #WebFeed

    They should. But they aren't.

    ...

    Adding #CORS headers makes it so Atom & RSS WebFeeds can be pulled at the client end (and doesn't have to run through a server).

    If you care about #privacy , you should care about this. As not having it have to run through a server protects privacy more.

    ...

    For example, the Atom & RSS WebFeeds should have this CORS header:

    Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

  14. I ranted somewhere in march about email newsletters. Decided to write about it back then, but never published. Until today:

    It's definitely not the ultimate truth but hey, I think it's somehow productive ranting :X
