oh ok. Cos I was having issues with the .xml file extension.

 

A discord bot I'm using which supports RSS feeds didn't like the .xml file and insisted that I have a .rss extension .

 

 

How much effort would need to be taken if you were to pursue the ability to have .rss rss links?

It would involve going through IPS, so considerably more effort than modifying the discord bot/getting the discord bot modified.

So, I want to be able to use an RSS link to the Unread Content feed however it doesn't work.

 

Is there a way for you guys to change the RSS feed URL to end with a .rss extension instead of being a .xml file?

 

Here's the feed I want to use -> https://linustechtips.com/main/discover/

 

here's the feed XML file -> https://linustechtips.com/main/discover/all.xml/

 

Thanks much :).

It is a valid RSS feed, and .xml is a valid extension for RSS feeds [1] (as well as the mime type that it is served with, text/xml [2]). If your RSS reader doesn't support the feed on this site for those reasons then it also wouldn't support feeds on a lot of other sites, such as the BBC or the New York Times. There may well be another reason that the RSS feed is invalid, but this is the first time that anybody has reported the problem to me, and there are other IPS sites that use RSS feeds more than this one but don't appear to have found the issue.
