As RSS fans here may know, you can grab RSS feeds of communities and even your profile on Lemmy instances if you like. You can also do this with profiles on Mastodon, and I imagine other ActivityPub microblogging services.
However, you may not have known that public Bluesky profiles are much the same. By public, I mean their posts can be viewed without signing in to Bsky. I’m not sure but I’d think those limiting their visibility may not (or should not) permit pulling a RSS feed of their posts.
All you do is copy the account’s Bsky handle, e.g. [username].bsky.social (or custom domains, should work the same I think) to your RSS reader of choice, and you should have a feed of their posts.
It’s a nice way to get feeds for news sites that don’t directly offer them and that have moved to Bsky but not Mastodon or other ActivityPub microblogging services. It’s also great if you’re simply not into microblogging in general and/or don’t want to make another social media account and download another app.
Hope this helps!

I think it’s worth noting that you could never post this message on BSky due to arbitrary and fucking stupid character limits.
I’ll never join anything with character limits. Like, why?
Yeah character limits are dumb!
Because SOME people just won’t SHUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUP already.
I wish real life had word limits on people talking. I remember like 10 years ago, working in an office setting with one woman who told me everyday what she saw on some kardashian show. I honestly don’t know if she told me the same things everyday, or if this was a daily show with constant new content. All I know is that OTHER people told me that this woman has kids, but she never talked one word about her kids. She only ever talked about the kardashians.
And I never listened to a thing she said. But I damn sure wish she had a mute button, or a word limit.
idk, I actually like the character limits. Probably because at one time I twitted things using SMS.
I like the language exercise of trying to say a complete idea in the less possible words.
Except people don’t do that. They just create these ridiculously long and confusing threads
@ElectroVagrant Que ótimo!
