Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (self.lemmy_support)

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/[email protected] on my own instance?

In your regular browser, why not just subscribe and have your feed do the heavy lifting?

How do you subscribe to the frontpage of another server though? And where would that feed be located?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What I mean is, from your programming.dev account you can subscribe to as many communities you like on any and every server and then it's just a matter of keeping a browser page open on https://programming.dev/?dataType=Post&listingType=Subscribed&sort=New

Yes but I wanted to see exactly what was on a specific server's frontpage without having to keep up to date with any and all subscribed (or not) communities that were on their frontpage.

Ah, fair enough. In that case, I think photon (the alternate Lemmy UI) allows you to see remote front pages in a graceful manner. Maybe give that a try.
