According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
That would be something supported by the Lemmy (or kbin/mastodon/whatever) software. A quick look at the documentation doesn't indicate it's a supported view but I can't imagine it'd be hard to implement.
It'd probably be on a per community basis. If it's an unauthenticated request there'd be no way to immediately get subscribed communities. I'm not sure if authenticated RSS is a thing or not.
Thanks for the answer!
