According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
By the way, how to RSS your lemmy communities?
There's an RSS tag on instances and communities, at least when looking at it via a web browser. Is at an indiviual instance or community level, though - as far as I know you can't export your subscribed communities to link them all to an RSS reader in one go.
At least, there is for sh.itjust.works, dunno about other instances. See above blue smudge below.
Ah, thanks! I only used lemmy via app so far.
That would be something supported by the Lemmy (or kbin/mastodon/whatever) software. A quick look at the documentation doesn't indicate it's a supported view but I can't imagine it'd be hard to implement.
It'd probably be on a per community basis. If it's an unauthenticated request there'd be no way to immediately get subscribed communities. I'm not sure if authenticated RSS is a thing or not.
Thanks for the answer!
