    @ruud @_elena

    It works! You have to add .rss instead of /rss.

    It is set up on my Thunderbird. I will see, Elena, if your next posts do appear in my rss feed.

          @_elena your article is so clear and precise that having an Italian translation is a good thing for all our "evangelists" of the Fediverse πŸ’—

            @MichelPatrice oh that's odd because I follow my Fediverse accounts via RSS feeds (to check if they federate and have a reference... but GoToSocial and Ghost). I wonder if my own Mastodon doesn't work (I couldn't do it either) because it starts with an underscore and it could be a bug?

            @_elena

            It also works with hashtags. I just tried it.

            Look for a hashtag in the search box. Click on the hashtag in the result list. Copy the link in navigation bar and add .rss.

            I am now just waiting to see if I will get this hashtag's publications from the whole fediverse (which would be cool) or from Mastodon only.

                @_elena @samvie government is not β€œfunded by taxpayers money”, too bad you’re spreading this pernicious myth with an otherwise good argument

                Better to say β€œpublic money” which would be correct and accurate.

                      @samvie @_elena It gets even better if you believe the MMT folks. In that paradigm European gov spends first then taxes some back. ie. it is the spending which funds not taxes.

                        @_elena And.. Just finished reading it. And what can I say? Thank you for your insights and for sharing them in such an effective and enjoyable tone. Public access to social posts without needing an account is a definitive advantage of the fediverse we need to promote more than ever. And yes, when institutions will start to add the mastodon/pixelfed/... logo along other networks, this will contribute to normalise them and should help attracting more folks here. Hopefully!

                                    @_elena Wow, that would be fantastic! And it's perfect timing because I'm also writing an article in French to help French town halls take a closer look at digital sovereignty through open-source solutions and by sharing examples of people who have successfully implemented these methods in their town halls. I would love to share your article, once it's available in French, by adding a link to it and sharing another experience through your story πŸ›‘οΈ

                                        @_elena That's perfect, because my article is scheduled to be published this Monday, the day after the results. We're on the same page! What a wonderful meeting, and congratulations!
