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?

You can use openrss.org RSS feeds. They are there for this exact purpose. For example, you can get an RSS feed of /c/[email protected] by going to https://openrss.org/programming.dev/c/[email protected]. Then all links in the feed will always go to the post on programming.dev instance.

Is there a way to do this without relying on a third party service?

We're talking about instances having feed content for other instances (on totally different domains), so anything helping with this case would be a "third party service".

Ok I didn't know if servers had the capability to show the same frontpage as another instance.
