I pulled the social feed from #Akkoma into org-feed so I could show some recent posts on flawbee.net.

I probably won’t continue with it, because there are some problems I have with it today:

1. Because the feed is an atom feed you need to set both :parse-feed org-feed-parse-atom-feed and :parse-entry org-feed-parse-atom-entry to get any content
2. The datetime string needs to be manually corrected as it indicates when the entry was downloaded rather than when it was authored
3. The content is written down both as a heading and as the contents, meaning I have to edit it to remove unnecessary content
4. Sometimes the link to the external resource is a non-resolvable link, which means exporting from orgmode fails with an error, which then means I need to go back and find the original conversation to relink

All these issues could probably be resolved if I could write my own :parse-entry function, but I’m not actually any good at lisp so it’s not happening right now
