I like using RSS. I experimented with trying to get threads accounts into my RSS reader using the Mastodon method but just added .rss to the user's page. Unfortunately doesn't work.
There seems to be an overall problem with federation and rss though. Ideally, you would want rss feeds to come in as though you were viewing the content through your home instance in order to facilitate commenting on posts and what not. But I have not found a way to do so. I may wind up writing my own scraper.
oh awesome! thanks for that link - I like that. For me, I like jumping around from rss readers to kbin to mastodon. It seems like the major news orgs might flock to threads. I can't be bothered to sign up.... and I don't want an instagram account. When threads federates, i'll just follow nytimes on threads through mastodon and be done with it. Seems like a bad sign for twitter.
be prepared for disappointment – Instagram RSS feeds were disabled several years ago – looking at the Threads page source, it’s all generated through Javascript with the bare minimum HTML placeholders …
