How this relates to WebSub (previously known as PubSubHubbub)? https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/

As far as I am aware WebSub has more or less completely obsoleted RssCloud.

Source: I run a feed reader service that supports WebSub and when I checked none of our subscriptions support RssCloud but not WebSub.

I would be interested in know what your feed reader service is, and how subscriptions support WebSub.

My feed reader service is https://feedmail.org. The simplest instructions for WebSub are those on the public Google hub https://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/. But there are other public hubs available or you can run your own.

Came to ask this as well. It seems like a competing solution to the same problem.

rssCloud is a separate protocol, but performs many of the same functions as WebSub.
