Advanced tools
Create one centralized RSS feed for all of the content you create across the web (aggregates from Twitter, RSS, Atom, Mastodon, YouTube)
Activity feed lets you build one centralized RSS feed that pulls in new entries from a bunch of different social networking sites. Support for (one or more) YouTube, RSS or Atom for existing blogs, Mastodon (via RSS), and your Twitter account (contributions for more are welcome!).
This allows you to encourage folks to subscribe in one location and you can control how that feed is populated later.
As a completely hypothetical example, if/when Twitter dies in a burning fire and you want to remove that channel from your centralized feed, you can do so and still keep all of your existing subscribers!
Limitations:
Caching Notes:
netlify-plugin-cache plugin to persist your API fetch call cache across builds. You can see an example of this on the Eleventy Fetch docs. You can control the maximum frequency at which new fetches are made to the APIs using feed.setCacheDuration("4h");You can subscribe to the following Eleventy feed in your RSS reader of choice to see it in action:
npm install @11ty/eleventy-activity-feed
Twitter User activity requires a TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN environment variable (you can put this in a .env file).

Add to the <head> of your page to show it in RSS readers:
<link rel="alternate" href="/follow.rss" title="Eleventy’s Activity Feed" type="application/rss+xml">
Happy to accept PRs for better HTML display of different feed entries (YouTube needs URL-><a> linkified descriptions and Twitter could use @-username links on content) and addition of more types of data! Feel free to contribute!
