    @TerryHancock RSS can be a static file, and for a SSG it would make the most sense for it to be a static file.

    There are no dynamic aspects, and it is already federated, in the sense the WWW is.

    You could imagine (and I have created) a centralized site that mixes together other people's RSS feeds into one combined html/RSS feed. But that is not federation, it is an RSS client web app.

    @mcc
    Yes, that's a good point about RSS.

    I think federated features (such as comment threads) would have to be dynamic -- perhaps handled by a separate server affiliated with the site.

    I'm wondering if this is the niche that customizable servers like "Streams" or "Emissary" is targeting? Or perhaps it could just post to a small server, like GoToSocial or SNAC? IDK. 🤔
