What if you could follow a Web site that publishes its content in an Atom feed in Mastodon, the same way you follow people?
And you could boost items from that feed, and your own followers would see them just like they do when you boost a toot?
In other words, what if we cross-bred a social network with a feed reader?
@jalefkowit i kinda like this. there are probably complications, but it feels like it could go somewhere.
long ago, facebook got leverage by encouraging people to plumb their feeds into their timelines. in retrospect, it was a cynical, web-eating ploy, but it was also pretty good utility. in this context, maybe it could be the opposite of cynical. encourage federation across many platforms using basic formats...
