Gazzetta, an RSS Reader for Mastodon (primatology.xyz)

FYI: Mastodon offers RSS feeds for single accounts (e.g. https://mastodon.social/@primatologyxyz/with_replies.rss), but efforts to extend native RSS support seem to have gone stale (e.g. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21500).

However, there are RSS bridges like RSSHub (https://docs.rsshub.app/routes/social-media#mastodon) and OpenRSS (https://openrss.org/blog/mastodon-rss-feeds) that offer RSS feeds for the "Explore" and "Hashtag" sections for local instances.

Neat idea! I’d love to use my current RSS feed reader (NetNewsWire) to follow links that come across my Mastodon feed. I can already follow individual accounts or tags with the .rss pages Mastodon generates.

It should be possible to create a service that produces personalized RSS feeds, something like: https://codeberg.org/gedankenstuecke/mastolink2rss

Maybe you should have lead with an IOS RSS reader :-)
I should have. I apologise.
Neat idea but I keep getting an error when I try to login to mastodon
Sorry about this. If you’d like to email me (support@primatology.xyz) I’ll look into it for you.
No worries. Will do.
This is nice! Maybe add a unified timeline for all sources?
This is on the roadmap.
Great!
What are the in-app purchases?
There is a tip jar, as the app is completely free to use.
iOS only. Looks interesting
