@th3j35t3r forcing app downloads. Is what it is, makes me glad i have Lists. I can get to those without being logged in. The man is helping me move away from social media/my phone.
Even if that's not the full ripple effect, it's my experience.
You can get to your bird app Lists without being logged in? How, please? 🙏
I have a List for Larry and Teddy on the bird app and right now it's the ONLY way I can check to see if there are new posts from them. I've now moved my mobile TextExpander goodies to the desktop--the one permitted mobile app is unreliable.
FWIW, RSS isn't working right either. My feeds for non-bird are fine and prompt. Anything through the bird app takes HOURS to show up. A couple of times, DAYS.
@waywardflf @th3j35t3r twitter.com/username/lists should do it. Might need /i/ before username.
Otherwise, I recommend googling twitter lists and access one from there. Then look at the url and swap portions.
I'm still surprised that the sample URL from the web gets "translated" but it won't let me use that same format for my account specifics and "translate" to the "longnumber" URL.
@waywardflf yeah, the long number thing is weird and was stopping me from accessing my own for a bit until I tried the second Google method.
Can't speak to the rss component not working. You might try playing with it, going from specific list to...list of lists?
Wanna try an experiment? Here's an image of the feed name, and my username is the same as here.
Can you construct one that works for you without the long number?
That works and gets me to the page that has my lists. I tried adding a slash and the name of the particular list at the end, no joy.
So the URL you made -- many thanks! 👍 -- gets to my lists page. Now to see if there's a way to specify the single list...
@waywardflf should just be able to click into either List?
Might be an issue if either or both are not Public.
@L_D_G @th3j35t3r
Thank you for that. The format you suggested didn't work, sadly. I did as you suggested & googled twitter lists and found a sample URL that worked. Subbing in my details resulted in my browser or RSS app (Net News Wire) telling me there was no feed.
But the page the sample URL took me to had this URL:
.twitter.com/i/lists/[long_number]
Hmm. So I logged into the bird app & copied the resulting URL when checking my feed for Larry and Teddy, and set up an RSS feed. Success!
