Many Activity Pub instances provide rss feeds, but the addresses aren't standardized.

Thinking on what npub1ln5q8np5aezhtt7ztv6tah86xk4t3smjuchdvxp0u6uta056204q45xyw6 (npub1ln5…xyw6) is doing with the activitypub/podcast rss gateway inspired this insight.

Why not .well-known/rss/ ? a nice logical place to find it, or be directed to it for any Activity Pub server.

With the address easily translated to an RSS feed, modern Podcasting apps and feed readers could add the ability to subscribe by address, making it much easier for discovery to lead to subscription.

For the index itself, I think it makes more sense for
https://ap.podcastindex.org/.well-known/rss/920666
to 301 redirect to the actual address of the podcast RSS feed.

Are there downsides I'm missing in this? silverpill (npub1df0…7gmw) Alex Gleason (npub108p…yev6)
