LET RSS feed not working

Showfom

I can access https://lowendtalk.com/discussions/feed.rss in my browser after logging in, but none of my third-party RSS subscription tools like FreshRSS or Tiny Tiny RSS work.

This is likely due to Cloudflare WAF. Can you whitelist the RSS URL?

Yes, it doesn't work for me too with most providers here.

@jbiloh please have a look into this issue

Cloudflare return 403 for FreshRSS or Follow.is

Works fine for me (newsboat)

Doing our best to protect our content on the platform from bots and scrapers. It's a difficult balance.

RSS is meant to be scraped.
Other pages are not be be scraped.
Thus, you need to have "completely open" policy on RSS and "super bot fight mode" policy on other pages.

Why the protection in the first place! 😂

LET gets DDoS sometimes

Especially when you talk about Path or Pfcloud for some reason

Cloudflare bot protection is useless.
You end up changing the user agent and Cloudflare lets you pass.

But keep locking up useful features to keep the bots outside, good idea.

LET RSS has been broken for me since 14.11.2024.

Two months later, I finally see 40 "fresh" offers in my RSS reader, judged by that the RSS feed has finally been fixed?

Imagine the money I saved! Because most of those have probably sold off in the meantime...

I'll still go through them all to at least see what I have missed all that time.
