It fails for my reader as well, while slrpnk.net succeeds. I’m not sure what’s going on. RSS isn’t my bailiwick.

Edit to add: The W3C feed validator says it’s good, with some warnings 🤷

Can you check what user agent is used to fetch the rss feed? We blocked empty user agents as well as names of different bots due to AI crawlers.

[-] ex_06@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don’t force any user agent so idk which one is the default (it’s freshrss on Debian on a raspberry in my house)

[-] nutomic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

I also use Freshrss (version 1.24.3 via Docker). Tried a feed from lemmy.ml just now and it loads without problems.

[-] ex_06@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

I love software, it also works for me now :D

To not let this pass as a random problem of my instance, yesterday night i also did a test with opening the feed in the browser itself and also addind the feed to reeder (the ios app) without using freshrss

So i don't think it was on my end, unless it was something bigger like routing (i did not try via vpn, didn't think it was necessary)
