RSS feeds for communities on other instances - how to click through using our own instance?
RSS feeds for communities on other instances - how to click through using our own instance?
I prefer browsing by RSS feed. I can get a sorted-by-new RSS feed of any Lemmy community easily, and it is very useful. However, if I click through a post because I am interested, it takes me to that community's instance, which means I am not logged in to their instance (because I am logged in only to SDF). Hence I cannot easily comment.
To solve this, I need to go back to our SDF instance, find the external community through our portal, then re-find the post I found interesting. This makes me a much more passive consumer of Lemmy content, which isn't bad in a lot of ways, but ya know, sometimes I want to contribute a little comment here and there.
Anyone know of a way around this?
I could stop using RSS, but RSS is too powerful a part of my Internet consumption workflow to give up now.
Yeah, I see on my side that the community page here on SDF (e.g. https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/programming@programming.dev) still has an RSS feed URL from the actual instance (in this case, https://programming.dev/feeds/c/programming.xml?sort=New)
Anyone know of a way around this?
I also mainly read SDF starting from RSS, but I use the singular feed for all my subscriptions. These always have links that take me to https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/XXXXXX. From newsboat (emphasis on link

Perhaps this could be a workaround for you instead of having one feed per community? Perhaps also check if this is a feature request for Lemmy already?

I use QuiteRSS, when I click on the "Comments" link, it takes me here no matter what instance it's from. I don't know why it wouldn't be the same for all RSS readers since they all get the same markup from the RSS url.
Edit: Are you maybe using the RSS links from the instance's site instead of the SDF site?

I've been using the RSS link at the top of the page after finding what I'm looking for in the Communites and clicking the title there. For example, after clicking the link for the top Community listed in All, it takes me to https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml and there's an RSS link next to the filters.
However, I've since figured out I prefer using just 1 RSS feed and that's my Subscribed filter https://lemmy.sdf.org/?dataType=Post&listingType=Subscribed&page=1&sort=Hot. I was very delighted to find that it works the way I expected without have to do any kind of authenticated RSS url. When I follow a new community they just start showing in my main feed. Now I just have to pick between Active, Hot or New. Using Active currently.
