How to follow Mastodon accounts using an RSS feed

I've been really happy with my self-hosted RSS reader FreshRSS . I've consolidated a lot of the newsletter spam and occasional checking of blogs with a more considered decision to go to the RSS reader.

This means that I have had less desire to check out whats going on on Mastodon.

I just found out that I can get an RSS feed for Mastodon accounts. So, if I wanted to follow @charliemarsh I can just append .rss to the url of his profile webpage. (Note, this has to be his original page). So, Charlies original page is https://hachyderm.io/@charliermarsh and the RSS feed with all his public posts are available at https://hachyderm.io/@charliermarsh.rss.

I have started to follow a few Python people where I'm not aware of any blog to follow instead. Aside from Charlie Marsh, I also now follow:

• Samuel Colvin
• Sebastián Ramírez

I also have an account that I barely use at @KPLauritzen that you can follow.
