Somewhat tangential: does anyone know if there is a way to subscribe to the local timeline RSS feed (or even federated!) of a specific Mastodon instance? Individual users have RSS feeds but I could not find a timeline feed yet.
What I'm missing even more is a single Atom or RSS feed for the people I follow from my account.
On Reddit my account specific feed can be found at an URL that looks like this: https://old.reddit.com/.rss?feed=SECRET&user=USERNAME
On Pinboard it's at: https://feeds.pinboard.in/rss/secret:SECRET/u:USERNAME/
Adding a feed for every single person I follow to my feed reader (and manually keeping it in sync with what what my account actually follows) is not a solution that works.
Even more tangential, I've been building an algorithmic digest of Mastodon (supports home, local, or federated) at https://fediview.com/. It might be interesting if you want a summary of Mastodon posts. Adding in RSS support might even be possible at some point.
One feature I would like to explore more is making algorithms completely customizable (as an advanced option perhaps). I.e. allowing changing all params manually in addition to being able to use your presets.
About the cutomizable params, it would be more complex since that means each person's articles need to have difference scores, which multiplies the storage and computation a lot. But on some level the priority of articles is customizable: you can provide customized "upvotes" for each of the articles in a customized RSS feed (an example to provide these fields in RSSHub: https://docs.rsshub.app/en/joinus/quick-start.html#submit-ne...), which will affect the final sorting of the articles.
There are several expectations decreed by the community; for example: search has been specifically rejected.
