Is there currently any way to get rss feeds for above? on lemmy, we can do notifications, and on lemmings.world, ridokusage implemented rss for saved stuff - https://lemmings.world/post/15407036, https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyPersonalRss. As I understand, server admins need to run the latter, and it is not lemmings.world specific (though i am not sure if it may have some lemmy specific code).

And afaik, there is no rss for user's created stuff (one could turn notification's on for user, and then use notification rss to get this can be a valid workaround).

And I also had a question about posts' rss. on lemmy, the rss for a post also has votes and comments count for a post. assuming this information is available for a post, can this be also implemented in piefed?

on lemmy rss feed starts like

submitted by xyz to abcommunity
n points | m comments

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

Full disclosure, I have never used the rss features of lemmy or piefed, so my answer is not coming from a place of personal experience.

To answer things in turn:

RSS feed for notifications

This does not exist. I didn't realize this was a feature of lemmy. Is there some kind of authentication you have to do to access this, or is it simply just a big long string of characters so that it is hard to guess? There is potentially sensitive information in an inbox such as private messages, so this is something I think should be handled carefully.

RSS feed for a user

This does exist! If you go a your, or another user's profile page. On the overview tab, to the right, there is an RSS feed button that has the xml you need.

RSS feed for saved posts/comments

This does not exist. Looking through rikudou's project, it looks to be lemmy-specific through using lemmy's api. I am willing to bet that, if this is something rimu wants to include in piefed, he would just make it a feature that is built-in rather than adapting an external service like this.

Vote/comment counts in RSS feed

This is probably possible, but I have never touched the rss code for piefed, so I am not sure how big of a lift this might be.
