Wow! The response to RSS Parrot in the first day has been overwhelming ✨ Thank you all for the enthusiasm and the overwhelmingly positive messages! Plus, the birb survived the day 🦜🦜🦜 :) I started a "Changes" section where I wrote up what's happened since the launch: https://rss-parrot.net/web/changes#2024-01-03 I'll be slightly more hands-off in the next few days. May the feeds be strong with you! 🧘‍♀️

Just released an update (details at https://rss-parrot.net/web/changes). - Birb now accepts DMs - No more &#39; entities for apostrophes etc. - Birb can reply if you're on a secure server ("authorized_fetch"). If you received no reply earlier, this hopefully fixes it. - Audio link included for podcast episodes Enjoy :) #RSS #Atom #FeedReader #Fediverse

@twilliability@genart.social It's pretty cool. I think it's potentially the start of a big trend https://timkellogg.me/blog/2024/01/03/birb (that has an RSS feed too :blobfox:)

@twilliability@genart.social Thanks so much! The one thing I found as a newbie to Mastodon is that it wasn't obvious how to follow the Library of Congress Maps blog stream as it said " Parroting since January 7, 2024 as @blogs.loc.gov.maps" but if it had said " Parroting since January 7, 2024 as @blogs.loc.gov.maps@rss-parrot.net" instead it would have been more obvious. But thanks again!
