It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.

    I self host FreshRSS and among the many sites I subscribe to, I also subscribe to quite a few hashtags on Mastodon which I’m aware isn’t highly publicised so not everyone knows you can do that.

    If someone reads this comment that didn’t know you could do that -

    Instance/tags/hashtag.rss

    Eg:

    https://mastodon.social/tags/introduction.rss

    You are welcome.

    (Set your purge limits aggressively, because despite people suggesting otherwise, you will very quickly have thousands of unread articles to trawl through)

        #android #fediverse #homeassistant for my interests - and #introduction to make sure that I see and boost plenty of newcomers to get them a good start on the fediverse. It’s introduction in particular that requires a very aggressive purge policy! I only keep I think 50 introduction posts across 3 days, but even then - my FreshRSS is typically 1200 articles on a daily basis.

          Was going to say — that looks like it would include a lot of noise. Thank you for your response!
