Saw this post the other day and was inspired to make something slightly more stupid, plus it gave me an excuse to work on my website, lol

Hi, does your website have an rss feed? Cool post btw.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I do have an RSS feed! It's https://floridaman7588.me/feed.xml I should probably put it in a more obvious place on my site tho, haha. And thanks for reading!

Thank you, I should have tried that. (I tried /feed - without the .xml). I'm also pretty sure there's some html meta tag pointing at the feed. I use Feeder on android and it can usually find the feed, even if it has some nonstandard path. EDIT: This is how it looks like in the linked The Thin Computer article linked:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="The Thin Computer &raquo; Feed" href="https://thin.computer/index.php/feed/" />

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="The Thin Computer &raquo; Comments Feed" href="https://thin.computer/index.php/comments/feed/" />

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="The Thin Computer &raquo; Using Termux on Android for Self Hosting? Yes, really. Comments Feed" href="https://thin.computer/index.php/2024/03/21/using-termux-on-android-for-self-hosting-yes-really/feed/" />

Ah, I will look into adding that to my React layouts. Thanks for the suggestion!

Cool post -- OT but have you ever looked at cactus.chat or alternatives to disqus?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have been looking for an alternative recently, I was going to publish an article about why I dropped disqus and my search for an alternative but I never saw this. I guess the search term "self-hosted website comments" has all its SEO clogged up with Disqus by now. Will check this out though, thanks!

It's pretty nice except how abandonwar-y all of Matrix feels. I run cactus here -- https://reticulated.net/

It's kind of annoying that you have to join the matrix room every time you post but still better than Disqus or those weird git repo comment systems

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Ah I will look into that, maybe there's a Matrix library I can implement so that I don't have to do that manually, lol.
