I have tested many RSS Readers, and there are some great ones, but Friendica also acts as one and does a fantastic job at. This was one of the features that convinced me to move form Mastodon to Friendica. The fact that I can follow anyone on the fediverse + any RSS feed....is just too good! I keep on saying this, but Friendica is really underrated. #tromlive

Unknown parent • • •curl --headdoesn't affect how the request is made by the backend, which is the same as regularcurlso this wouldn't work in that regard. We could use ETags where we are performing a lighter query to determine if the feed has changed even after the 15 minute cache has elapsed, but it requires clients to support ETag and 304 Not Modified HTTP response.Informa Pirata likes this.

in reply to Hypolite Petovan • •@Hypolite Petovan We carried out an empirical experimentation on rss feeds and we drew some conclusions.
The problem of the very heavy slowdown of the system was probably due to a trivial problem!
Since I had set the search on the feeds once or twice a day (instead of frequently, convinced that this was the best way not to burden the system 🤓), the system created some processing "queues" that slowed down the whole publishing mechanism: some Sometimes, from Mastodon, I saw friendica's messages only after one or more hours of publication! 😭
When we reset everything to "frequently" the problem disappeared... 🤣
