Since I’ve been on Lemmy, I don’t know what my use is for Mastodon anymore. It’s dead on there anyway. I don’t have anyone to talk to and nobody responds to my posts.

    To connect your blog to an RSS feed, you’ll need to follow these general steps:

    1. Check if your blogging platform supports RSS: Most blogging platforms, like WordPress, Blogger, and Tumblr, automatically generate an RSS feed for your blog. You can usually find the feed URL in the format “yourblogurl.com/rss” or “yourblogurl.com/feed”.

    2. Verify the RSS feed URL: Confirm that your blog’s RSS feed is working by opening the URL in a web browser. You should see a list of your blog’s recent posts in XML format.

    3. Promote your RSS feed: Add an RSS subscription button on your blog’s website to make it easy for visitors to subscribe. You can use an RSS icon and link it to your feed URL.

    4. Submit your RSS feed to RSS directories: This step is optional but can help increase your blog’s visibility. Submit your RSS feed URL to popular RSS directories like Feedburner, Feedly, or Bloglovin’.

    5. Test your RSS feed: Use online RSS feed validators to ensure your feed is well-formed and doesn’t have any errors.

    By following these steps, you can connect your blog to an RSS feed and allow your readers to subscribe and stay updated with your latest content. If you need specific instructions for your blogging platform, let me know which one you’re using, and I can provide more detailed guidance.
