question to those with websites that have RSS feeds:

How much of your site does it represent? The whole thing? Back an arbitrary amount of time in the past? The most recent N things? Does it match the html version's pagination?

@esbe as someone who's subscribed to a lot of rss feeds: please don't put everything in the feed, it'll take ages to load and process each time

@noiob @esbe What would you recommend for a number? I have some adjusting of my site's feed to do. :)

@electrickeet no idea, but the minimum depends on how often you post, you don't want someone to miss sth because they check manually. I'd err towards a higher number because computers are fast, it starts to become an issue on a webcomic with thousands of pages where I also have freshRSS extract the comic itself from the page

Follow

@electrickeet though even then the extraction would run post-deduplication so not that big a deal
