Sadly, yes.
RSS off of other profile content (such as posts) serves an acceptable function I guess (e.g. cross-posting, blog feed) but sharing saved posts does not meet the cut for some reason.
Feel free to jump on that ticket and articulate a more compelling argument, if it’s still open. More votes might change their stance over time.
You can self-host Feedbin or you can get a paid account for $30 USD.
Lots of great functionality built-in. I use Unread app for iOS as the front-end instead of Feedbin’s web app. A paid Unread account would also give you RSS feed hosting, but less feature rich.
To try and thwart malicious scripted login attempts, some sites expect a manual keyboard action on the username and/or password fields.
You can use your password manager to populate the fields but then click each and add then remove a character. That usually handles it.
I don’t see a way to do this in the settings.
I see this as a bug. It’s reasonable to expect RSS feeds per grouping of posts showing under an account profile (posts, comments, saved, etc). Posts and comments are covered, but not Saved.
So either the feed icon should be removed to avoid confusion or, better, RSS for Saved should be added (on par with Reddit in that way).
Did you ever file it as an issue? I can’t seem to find a reference to it on the GitHub page.
I am a user, not someone running an instance of Lemmy so I don’t feel I can file and support it at the level that would be expected.
Reminds me of an oldie:
“Roses are red, Violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, This one don’t.”
