Hmm I was gonna suggest Mastodon. I always thought it allowed long-form writing similar to blog posts.

Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

Yeah, I misunderstood. Maybe RSS feeds probably aren’t a good solution for replies in an individual nested thread within a post.

I can see that becoming chaotic to manage after subscribing to a handful of threads, all in separate RSS feeds. You’d be constantly subscribing and unsubscribing to deal with all the potential noise 😬

Left a comment to another user in this feed. Do you use RSS feeds at all? If so, you can use that to get notifications. But if you don’t use RSS feeds for sites, probably not worth it.

You can if you use RSS feeds. For instance an RSS feed for the threads in this post is at https://openrss.org/beehaw.org/post/15660443.

Ubuntu here as well! Sticking with just the LTS versions tho 😎

We’re talking about instances having feed content for other instances (on totally different domains), so anything helping with this case would be a “third party service”.

Oh neat! I didn’t know this existed. By any chance, do you know of any RSS readers that have implemented it?

You can use openrss.org RSS feeds. They are there for this exact purpose. For example, you can get an RSS feed of /c/retrogaming@lemmy.ml by going to https://openrss.org/programming.dev/c/retrogaming@lemmy.ml. Then all links in the feed will always go to the post on programming.dev instance.

Yeah, depending on the branch I’ve found that method not to be too reliable. openrss offers branches for RSS feeds for commits on every branch though: e.g. https://openrss.org/github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commits/main
