Hello everyone @
Friendica Support !
I filed
this issue on github and it has been pretty ignored. Of course I don't expect it to be taken into consideration, but I would like to know if I'm the only one who perceives this feature as a problem. I would also be curious to know if in your opinion the issue is easily solvable, or if it requires an unjustifiable effort?
For those who do not have a GitHub account, I report the text of the Issue here:
Good evening everyone.
Introduction
Like most software in the Fediverse, Friendica accounts can also be "followed" through their RSS feed.
In this way, it is possible to use the string https://INSTANCENAME/feed/USERNAME/
For example, the account of the Friendica group "School" is
https://poliverso.org/feed/scuola/
Is the feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Unfortunately, however, the feed of the Fediverse accounts publishes only the contents of that account and not, for example, those reshared.
This choice, although understandable for normal accounts, is much less understandable for Groups (the former Forums), since these groups do not publish (if not rarely) their own contents.
Describe the feature you'd like
The developers Lemmy have brilliantly solved the problem with their "Communities" (the Lemmy version of Activitypub groups) and today it is possible to follow the feed of the Lemmy communities through the string
https://ISTANZA/feeds/c/NOMEUTENTE.xml?sort=New
And in fact the feed of the "Fediverso" community is perfectly queryable by a feed reader
https://feddit.it/feeds/c/fediverso.xml?sort=New
Even Lemmy displays a feed that presents all the posts published in the local communities (https://ISTANZA/feeds/local.xml?sort=New) and even all those of the federated "timeline" (https://ISTANZA/feeds/all.xml?sort=New).
I therefore wonder if it is not possible to make it so that at least the "Group" type accounts can display a feed that also includes shared content.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I can't think of any valid alternatives.
I tried in vain to follow a Friendica Group with a Lemmy account (basically I signed up to the "group" which obviously in Lemmy is seen as a "Community"): basically I wanted to use Lemmy to make him export the RSS feed...
Unfortunately, however, there are still problems that do not allow the contents of Friendica to be correctly synchronized in the community view of Lemmy.
