Does anyone know if there is a way to turn my Mastodon feed into some sort of RSS feed or otherwise?

I use a dashboard called Glance to collect my feeds and website - I have Mastodon linked currently, but, would love to make a feed from two of the lists I've created so I can quickly take a quick look at them.

@FediTips not sure if you know of a way?

Update on my search:
Through the comments, found that any hashtag or user can be turned into an RSS by appending [.rss] to the URL.

Lists cannot be turned into an RSS as far as I can tell.

@geoff_eg Hmm ... every account, hashtag, or combination thereof has an RSS feed, but I am not sure lists do, as you'd need to be authenticated for that 🤔

So the quickest way might be to recreate the list in your dashboard, if there is no specialised client that does this for you.

@sindarina That' unfortunate to hear. I wonder if there is a faster way to "recreate" or pull that. It seems its because lists are tied to the account login and are effectively private.

@geoff_eg @FediTips I use Tiny tiny RSS on my freedombox server. I can follow fediverse hashtags on it. I think you can follow individual accounts but not sure.

@kgw @FediTips perfect! I will look into this. Thanks for mentioning this Ken. I've not heard of Tiny tiny RSS, but, will take a look.

Even if it just converts the hashtags into an RSS feed, I can insert that url into the appropriate place easily.

@geoff_eg @FediTips I follow quite a few fediverse hashtags with it.

@jnk @FediTips oh awesome. This looks like exactly what I was hoping to find. Thanks jnk!

@geoff_eg You don't even need to append ‘.rss’ if you have a decent RSS reader, as it will automatically detect it for you.

Basic syntax at the account level;

https://domain.example/@account

For all posts on your instance tagged with #ExampleHashtag;

https://domain.example/tagged/ExampleHashtag

And for #ExampleHashtag from a specific account;

https://domain.example/@account/tagged/ExampleHashtag

Will get you both public and unlisted (quiet public) posts at the account level.

@sindarina This is fantastic info to have. Thank you for writing this up to clarify.
