[tonz] Indeed I am subscribed to my own comments feed in the selftracking folder of my reader. I follow 2 comments feeds from other bloggers as they have high quality discussions usually

GWG Interesting
#
[jgmac1106] and most WordPress teachers always subscribe to comments bc everyone is requiered to "leave 2-3 comments on the sites of your peers"
#
GWG So addressing the comments template is a good thing
#
jgmac1106 getting things proper is always a good thing, you as a Single Point of Failure need to balance it with your desires for your site first and then what is most critical to the community second
#
GWG Well, I am trying to fix feeds because I have been working on consuming them
#
GWG It was interesting last night trying to write rules for some of the feeds jackjamieson found.
#
GWG Trying to extract multiple authors
#
GWG Sites do not make multiple authors easy

#
[Rose] I wonder if there could be an easy way to exclude post types from the main feed?
#
[Rose] Or to set my main feed to certain post kinds. It appears some people are following my main feed (which should redirect to /blog/feed/), but that is including _everything_ right now and I'd like to set that feed to be an optimal experience for them.
#
[jgmac1106] [Rose] category excluder plugin how many people did this
#
[jgmac1106] I wanted even greater flexibility and would wrap my site in a page builder so Icould really customize what showed up
#
[jgmac1106] I would add content blocks using post kind and then a category. This way I could make feeds for my articles and one for each of my classes
#
[Rose] I don't want to have to categorise every post though, ideally somehow we could work it into Post Kinds - that already has good support for RSS feed parameters (include and exclude)

#
[Rose] Ideally the default feed would be set up to provide an optimal experience for your average follower

GWG [Rose]: I have a plan for that
#
GWG I intend to add some additional rewrites
gRegorLove_ and [Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose] Nice!
#
[Rose] I somehow thought you would 🙂
#
GWG Step 1, create a /stream rewrite to a configurable set of exclusions
#
GWG Add a discoverable feed link to it
#
GWG Rename the main feed /feed to All Posts to distinguish
#
GWG So, no changing URLs, just changing links
#
[Rose] Ok, how will that work for people already subscribed to /feed/ though?
#
[Rose] My problem (which I'm sure others have too), is some people just subscribed to /feed/, and that's everything. Moving people to another feed is pretty hard.

#
GWG It might not.
#
GWG But will experiment
#
GWG I have to check the rewrite rules
#
GWG I want this as well, I just have a concern
#
[Rose] Naturally 🙂
#
GWG You sound like my coworker
#
GWG She keeps telling me that I say I'm worried too much
#
GWG I got the empty titles out of my RSS feed though
#
GWG The posts are now showing local instead of GMT
#
GWG And the guid is set to the url instead of the post id
#
GWG Next is setting the link to the external url for bookmarks
#
GWG Although that needs to be a setting
#
GWG I also have an issue with images in my feed
#
[Rose] I would suggest that be a setting - external URLs
#
GWG I plan on it
#
GWG This is for linkblogging

#
[Rose] I’ve just seen a lot of people switching away from direct links in RSS feeds recently.

#
[Rose] It seemed to be an appropriate response, it’s sad it wasn’t met with a nicer answer :)

#
billbennettnz I'm trying to make the Microformats 2 WordPress plug-in play nice with the Twenty Nineteen default theme. It seems to work, but the display is mangled. Where is a place to start? I'm not a code, but I'm code literate enough to hack the theme's php and css if that's what is required.
#
GWG It's not the best plugin as it is hard to markup things with filters
#
GWG It does the best it can

chrisaldrich billbennettnz was there something you were trying to do with the 2019 theme that wasn't working and thus prompted you to try the mf2 plugin?
