I know XMPP is not as popular these days, but there is an XMPP extension for pushing Atom stanzas as a sort of the push complement to RSS.

… and using Slack to consolidate RSS turns RSS from pull to push. (Slack probably has caching mechanisms across all workspaces to reduce pull bandwith).

For those who want to try it, movim.eu is a federated social network build on this XMPP extension.
Do you know if there is a name for that XMPP/Atom pubsub service, and if web publishers can put up some kind of icon so people know they can subscribe to that kind of a feed?
I have seen jmp.chat using the XMPP logo for this: https://blog.jmp.chat/
