This document proposes a standard for web syndication methods across the
Fediverse by appending .rss or .atom to object URLs. This will allow users
to easily subscribe to feeds of timelines, posts, and other objects.
Additionally, this proposal addresses whether syndication methods should be
applicable to mirrored profiles across the Fediverse, recommending optional but
preferred implementation.
To create a syndication feed, servers must append .rss or .atom to the URL
of an object. For example:
https://example.org/@user.rss or https://example.org/@user.atomhttps://example.org/posts/12345.rss or https://example.org/posts/12345.atomFor mirrored profiles, such as https://example-mirror.org/@user@example.org,
appending .rss or .atom should be supported, but it is optional. The
recommendation is to implement this feature to maintain consistency and user
convenience across different instances.
Example URLs:
https://example-mirror.org/@user@example.org.rss or
https://example-mirror.org/@user@example.org.atomCC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication
