So I think the PR to add support for Twtxt to Mastodon is probably not going to happen by the looks of it 😢 But OTOH I discovered / found out that Mastodon actually has RSS feeds? Can anyone confirm? How does this work? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net What are you trying to do?
Having the timeline from a Mastodon instance as a twtxt.txt file ?
@prologic@twtxt.net Just append .rss to the profile URL, e.g. https://mastodon.example.com/@activitypubrocks45.rss
@prologic@twtxt.net plannning a new feature for feeds.twtxt.net ?
@mckinley@twtxt.net I never used it… It looks like it shows a limited amount of toots (I don’t know if it’s limited by num of toots or by date range)

That’s not what I got from reading that thread. I think it’s more than possible that we’ll see outbound integration with twtxt. Kudos to Jeremy Potter for submitting that patch. He seems to have deleted his account on twtxt.net so I can’t mention him properly.
As for inbound integration, I think a self-hosted bridge, independent from yarnd or any ActivityPub implementation, is the way to go.
@prologic@twtxt.net oh, I see ejat I did wrong, extra @
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know enough about mastodon to be sure
@prologic@twtxt.net Well, I just went to confirm, and people are referring to their presence on mastodon with the initial @, so… yes, better support both formats!
