Not sure how long these feeds have been broken, just noticed today. I used per-user RSS feeds to follow a few posters who generally write on subjects I'm interested in, but now they aren't resolving.<p>Typically used this format:
https://hn.algolia.com/userfeed/<username><p>Is there an alternative available or is the RSS option gone permanently?
This isn't a HN feature - it's an Algolia feature. They just updated it about a week ago - I'd imagine it's related to that. <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37870077">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37870077</a>
There is <a href="https://hnrss.github.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://hnrss.github.io</a> that does a pretty good job.
A user's RSS feed is <a href="https://hnrss.org/user?id=sarcher" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://hnrss.org/user?id=sarcher</a>
It's odd that HN itself doesn't provide this.<p>You can get at a user's comments using: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=<user>" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=<user></a><p>Furthermore, there is an API.<p>RSS is just a different representation of the same thing.
You might want to try Hacker News RSS at <a href="https://hnrss.github.io/#user-feeds" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://hnrss.github.io/#user-feeds</a>
Damn, if this feature existed that is really cool. Are there any other undocumented HN features like this? This actually seems like a really good idea.
How do you consume your RSS?<p>It's always been something i've felt like i'd benefit from but have never found an app/workflow that works for me.
