I like to use RSS feeds to automate my lurking and reading, and its my favorite way to engage with this site. Unfortunately, they haven't been working for several months, which is disappointing and caused me to drift away. Please, get them working again!

Other Lemmy instances work - This is the only instance I attempt to subscribe to which runs into issues. That's not to say if its exclusive here, just that this is the only one I know of.

I use an instance of FreshRSS to read feeds. The logs say: Error Message: cURL error 22: The requested URL returned error: 403 [https://aussie.zone/feeds/c/australia.xml?sort=New]

I get a similar error message for other requested feeds on this instance.

Thanks.

I was having weird 403 issues with the summit app and fixed it by changing the user agent.

error 403 is forbidden, are you coming from a vpn or something like this that cloudflare might be unhappy with?

I can download that xml file ok

Probably caught up in the measure I put in place to block AI bots a while back. I'll look into it after Christmas etc.
