What is an RSS feed ?

You can get our updates on meetings and other exciting stuff sent direct to your mobile or laptop by using a feed reader.

I use one on my Android called feeder, You add the url and everytime we update our social mastodon  ( a bit like twitter ) It will appear as if by magic on your phone or laptop.   The feed link to add is    https://social.vivaldi.net/@tbpcsg.rss   If you just want to read our Mastodon tweets then browse to https://social.vivaldi.net/@tbpcsg     Easy as that.  If you are struggling with any of our technology stuff ASK.

RSS is a web feed that allows users and applications to access updates to websites in a standardized, computer-readable format. Subscribing to RSS feeds can allow a user to keep track of many different websites in a single news aggregator, which constantly monitors sites for new content, removing the need for the user to manually check them. News aggregators can be built into a browser, installed on a desktop computer, or installed on a mobile device. Websites usually use RSS feeds to publish frequently updated information, such as blog entries, news headlines, episodes of audio and video series, or for distributing podcasts Continued in Wikipedia
