A per-subforum RSS feed would be nice. Don't know how hard this would be to implement, though.

Shouldn't be too performance intensive, less so than just displaying all the posts when a user requests them via the UI. The server doesn't have to re-generate the whole feed on every request, it just saves a list and removes old ones when necessary, for clients to poll when they desire.
The updating of the feed could happen every day or so, just showing the five most "trending" posts as already defined by the side bar. This could be automated with a cron job/systemd timer, but I'm not sure what the backend situation is.

I would go for this since I use RSS a lot.

yeah i think if we did do this, performance wouldn't be too much of a concern since we're already caching stuff in Redis and i think we could leverage that for an RSS feed as well.
this is a good idea - i'll add it to the tracked issues

I am +1 on this feature. It would make it a lot easier to keep up with new forum activity.

quick question for you 3: how would you expect this to work exactly? i spent today looking around at a few different RSS feeds for other forums, like Xenforo and Agoraroad (which i think is built on xenforo):
https://xenforo.com/community/forums/-/index.rss https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php?forums/-/index.rss
and it seems like these are showing the latest threads that have been updated, but the content just displays the OP instead of the actual post that was created. Would it make sense to just display the new post, and then expect the user to come back to the site to view the full context, or is showing the OP actually expected?

I like how the "whole site" RSS feed only downloads the last 24 hours of posts when you subscribe. I was expecting literally the whole site to come flooding in. LOL
Can you append usernames to the posts so we can see who said what in the feed? Thanks!
yep it gets the last 100 posts, so anything older than that will get bumped. if the forum ever gets more busy, we could totally make that number higher.
and yes I can add the usernames. good idea!

I'm also seeing unconverted Markdown in my reader. I'm not sure if the expectation is that the reader will understand Markdown, but mine is an older reader that's no longer being maintained, so that's not likely to ever happen.
yeah mine seems to have trouble with that too. it's also removing line breaks (probably related to the same markdown issue tho) and the special <quoting /> tags, so posts that have quotes with them render a little funky

Maybe replace <quoting> with <blockquote> as part of your conversion to standard HTML?
Also, I'd suggest testing the resulting feed by running it through the W3C RSS/Atom validator at https://validator.w3.org/feed/

yeah using <blockquote />'s not a bad idea. and thanks for that link i know literally nothing about RSS, but these errors/warnings the validator is giving me are very easy fixes.
i'll try to get a patch out sometime before the end of the week (and before my month-long vacation lol)
e: also my parser is removing <quoting /> from the bodies of posts 🤦♀️

The quotes look very nice in my reader now though! They look like quotes in an e-mail. I styled <blockquote> the same way on my site.
that's actually surprising. can you post a pic of what quotes look like?
