Where'd they go?

Technically I can, but it's messy and unreliable. A change in the title format or something like that could break it. RSS is best when you can point it at a source and say "give me everything that comes through that door."

Ultimately even without rss I think it's valid to want somewhere to read all issues of this type of publication in one place without having to search for each issue in a sea of unrelated content, and a solution to that would inherently support RSS as well.

For example, the author of the Steam Deck/Gaming News posts (very similar to the format of yours just a different subject) recently started publishing on a separate site as well and I was able to subscribe to that site and get all of the articles in full in my RSS reader.

The problem now is if I subscribe to gaming b-side (the community) I will get notifications from all the other random posts, not just the zine. I do actually browse this community, but I wouldn't want to get all of that in my RSS reader every day.

Most lemmy instances have RSS feeds for users and communities - if you were to make a locked community where you only post these zines, sort of like an archive, users could go to read all of them in one place without having to search for each issue. At the same time, it would also allow for RSS users to subscribe to the zine very easily. You could still allow comments, just no other posts.

I'm sure there are other solutions that, after some setup, would require minimal work on your part, but I'm not familiar with the publishing side of things. At least with this solution you don't have to set anything up yourself other than a new community.

Is there anywhere I can get an RSS feed of these gaming zines? I can't do the community since that has more than just the zines, I can't do your profile because you post more than just the zines, but I'd really like to get them in my RSS reader as they're quite long and it makes it much easier to read.

Do you publish these anywhere else, or is there an archive of them by themselves or something?

Oh one other thing - it would be cool if you could link to the lemmy post from the site somehow, as I will mostly be using my RSS reader to read the the articles, but if I want to join the comments I'd have to manually find the lemmy post.

I would love to see the articles on both, if it's minimal effort for you. Having them in lemmy without navigating out is such a slick experience. But the site makes RSS super easy too, so I think you'd be giving something significant up if either one went away.

I've been watching for an hour and the video still isn't over /s

Ah yeah you're right, I didn't realize how baked in that stuff was.

Have you actually tried to install it on Linux? I'd bet it would work.

You are correct. However, more often than not it's just like the image describes and people are actually applying LLM's en masse to random problems.

There are just more of us than any single EU country.

Edit: This is effectively solved by this browser plugin I found that lets me swap instances with a single click. It turns out there is no way to make an RSS feed for remote users between instances, so this is a close 2nd in terms of convenience.

For example: I want to follow this user's posts because they post regular hand-crafted news posts. The RSS link noted in the screenshot gives me this error pasted at the end of this post.

I tried going to lemmy.world and their RSS feed button works, but I don't want the .world link in my RSS feed, as I want to comment on the post sometimes. Is there any way to get the blahaj.zone user RSS feed working for non-blahaj.zone users?

Thanks in advance.
