In Telegram: "Settings, Security, Groups" has options to allow everyone or just your contacts to add you to groups. Contacts alone is usually adequate, but you can add exceptions.
thank you. why would "everyone" be the default setting, i cannot imagine.

Interestingly, they have bridges for some websites that do have RSS feeds (Steam, Youtube and HN)... Maybe because the feeds are hard to find?

Simple: - most RSS readers suck so bad you can't even retrieve years old articles. So if you follow blogs that don't post often, you simply can NOT get any of their older posts. Imagine a blog that has one seriously good article once a month. Typically you can't get more than a year's worth of posts, so that's like 12 articles. Why? - the best RSS app I had on iPad let me archive feeds for a LONG time. I used it as a…
You're free to develop an RSS reader with those features yourself. RSS is - on paper - an extremely simple protocol, but since many feeds are broken (not wellformed/improperly escaped XML, often incompetently copied from HTML, with spam, etc. etc.), RSS readers must integrate individual feeds almost on a case-by-case basis, with feed-specific fixes and heuristics. And there goes your project budget. Considering RSS i…
"Free to" != "Capable of"
It's that kind of attitude that keeps Linux from going mainstream, too.
This is a user complaining about user issues, and the response is "do it yourself." It is both not helpful, and condescending.
How come noone has managed to crack the RSS rock yet? Everything has an RSS feed (though it's decreasing). Rss readers have more content than any social network. It seems like you should be able to build something with this that has broad adoption. There has to be something missing. My theory has been for a while that what is missing is publishing. People don't just want to consume, they also want to share what they…

Most blogs don't include more than the last ten or so articles in their feed. Fetching backlogs of posts is beyond the scope of RSS. Unless you're complaining that posts you've already downloaded aren't persisted indefinitely?

Keep in mind your history issue is often the fault of the feed, not the reader. If you subscribe to a new blog that only has a year's worth of posts in its feed, then that's what you get. The reader can't proactively follow every blog in the world just in case someone subscribes in 3 years and wants to see the full history.

Is there a RSS generator for Facebook pages as well? Will this support Facebook pages later on?
