[Bug] [Solved] RSS feeds not working (ani.social)

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

My RSS reader, Thunderbird, is suddenly throwing errors on all my ani.social feeds (communities, inbox). Trying to verify the URLs through the feed subscriptions window I get a "The Feed URL is not authorized." message.

Looking at the error log, it's complaining about not well formed XML and clicking on the link results in an attempt to complete a Cloudflare "Verify you are human" challenge.

I'm not getting these issues on any other instances. RSS getting blocked like this is the reason I left Reddit for Lemmy in the first place.

The feeds are currently set to check once every 100 minutes (Thunderbird's default setting). Is there a recommended frequency I should be switching to?

If my rate limit theory is correct, I think it'd depends on how many feeds you're pulling. For a handful few, 100 minutes sounds in my experience. For 1000+, just refreshing might cause timeouts.
