[tonz] How would you consider this situation, in terms of ‘indiewebness’? Some of us already exclude various types of content from their front pages, having them visible only on their own url, as part of search, or in an overview of category / tag specific content. What if one goes one step further, by making certain postings part of the RSS feed, but not of frontpage/category overviews/search. So only RSS and the post being publicly accessible thr
# [tonz] its URL. I plan to experiment with this as part of the notion of having different postings for various part of my readership. Specifically for my weekly notes about my activities, which is mostly meant for regular readers, RSS is a fine channel, and others don’t really need to be reading it. This does of course, like leaving stuff from my front page, leave those posts outside of h-feeds, although it will be in rss. Thoughts?
# 
jeremycherfas For what it is worth, I think that is perfectly acceptable. But you also probably need to tell some people who may be regular readers and who want to see you weeknotes, how to subscribe.

# jeremycherfas But does everyone know how to subscribe?
# jeremycherfas How to use a reader?
# jeremycherfas Do you also email a version of the feed?
# jeremycherfas Rhetorical questions, but things to think about. Which is what you asked for :)
# jeremycherfas Right. And, for some people, there are services that will deliver RSS an an email.
# jeremycherfas I mean, it depends on how important you think it is for visitors to the site to be able to see tyhose items, if they want to.
# [tonz] not important to site visitors at all. I am making the assumption rss subscribers are more regular readers, so I could send additional postings their way specifically, that I”m not interested in pushing to ‘everyone’. Such as my weeknotes, which are mostly relevant/legible to people who know a little more about me. All assumption though, and I’ll do this for a while as an experiment.
# jeremycherfas Fair enough. It will be an interesting experiment whatever happens.

[frank] [tonz] you know I can't talk about it in public 😉 but to be honest, why do you ask the question about "indiewebness"? What if it is or it's not? If you feel you can get specific posts in specific channels, or exclude them on other places, do so. You can always revert the decision if it turns out your hypothesis is false.
# [tonz] [frank] It’s just that it introduces a difference between h-feeds and rss-feeds in the site. So I was thinking in terms of feedreaders and audiences. While I have a rough idea from the server logs of the number of rss subscribers, I don’t for h-feed readers. RSS only distribution introduces a difference between subscribers that I don’t know how it will play out, our how that would be perceived e.g. on the end of indieweb readers.
