RSS fans!
You can follow any Mastodon account via RSS by just adding ".rss" to the end of the account's public profile URL.
To find a user's public profile URL, click on their profile image within Mastodon.
For example, if you click on FediTips' profile image you get this page in a new tab:
https://mstdn.social/@feditips
So, to follow FediTips through RSS, use this address:
https://mstdn.social/@feditips.rss
This will only show that account's public posts. Other posts will not be visible on the RSS feed.

I use the FediBuzz Relay to push some hashtag-specific content to my instance. When you set that up, FediBuzz creates a “user” that boosts anything with that hashtag. For example, one of the hashtags I want it to help look for is #HoosierMast. It created @[email protected]. So, maybe that is a work-around? However, I have no idea how to then take that Mastodon username and add it to your follows on Lemmy!
Does @[email protected] work?
I think that’s going to look for the user
Yeah, I thought maybe mastodon treats hashtags similar to users since you can follow hashtags.
