I’ve gotten to a point in my privacy journey where it’s less about moving towards private options, and more about relaxing and having some fun with what I can do.
I put off messing around with RSS for a while. I simply didn’t have a significant need for it. However, after finding no good options to monitor various Lemmy communities without logging in, I decided to try out an RSS reader.
I settled on Feeder as my RSS reader, despite a few missing features I would like. I added my first Lemmy community as a feed, to try it out. I was immediately surprised how well it worked.
I also added other feeds, such as Tails News, and I was happy with that. I could monitor all the communities I needed to.
Then, I noticed one day, there was an RSS button for my Lemmy inbox. This is where I was really pleased: I can view my notifications without the need to log in, all in the same place.
Lemmy and RSS are both incredible, and I truly believe RSS is the hidden backbone of the internet. I love it, and maybe you should give it a try too!
(Ahem P.S. if anyone has an RSS reader as good as Feeder for Android that fixes this issue, please let me know)
I got this post by rss so YES,
But do not friendica allow you to join community by Activity pub? (Benefit is you can reply directly from there)

This is cool . thanks for the tip. I now have my #lemmy, #Mastodon and #Friendica feed almost in one with #Fedilab . I just need to sort out my #privacysettings (and remember to get off the #Madridmetro at #nuevosministerios
Yes, friendica shows Lemmy communities as regular friendica groups.
how well does it handle lemmy’s multi-level responses?
As standard replies and sub-replies. It works fine, though the ranking algo didn’t work last I checked.
