Two weeks ago I posted about Proxigram, a new way to use Instagram while retaining your privacy https://lemmy.world/post/925726 one of the features listed to be added in the future was RSS feeds and now, it's available!

I know most of us use RSS feeds to get updates from different sources to get the content we actually care and to have more control over what you see. This is why adding RSS feed to Proxigram was something important.

When using Proxigram to get the feed of an account you will be able to see the content inside the post and not just the cover of the post.

To get the feed of a profile, just add /rss at the end:

/{username}/rss

This feed is for posts only at the moment, one of the features that are planned to be added to Proxigram are stories, when stories are ready to use, it will have a RSS feed too!

Something like:

/{username}/stories/rss
/{username}/rss?stories=1

~~That being said, at the moment there is not a public instance of the project, so you will only able to use it by self-hosting the project by manual installation, I know, but this will change since adding docker is in the priority list.~~

Wiki page of instances

You can help the project if you are interested by hosting a public instance, sharing the project or helping in the development to add new features and/or fixing bugs. That will be really helpful and appreciated.

Is there any public instance available?

Edit: I've been searching and it seems that there are currently no public instances available. If I had some time I'll try to host one.

That would be great! If you do, I could create a list of public instances and add yours. :D

I came up with the project recently, and wanted to give a try and set up a test instance on replit.com. It works really well at the moment, it does not have the cache enabled though, but it does not seem to be slow.

I plan to have it up as long as the project last with other projects on replit as well. You could create a public list now and add this for people to test it out.

Thank you so much! I'll be creating a wiki page now.
