olea reported that Hootsuite’s autopublishing feature using RSS feeds is not working with their Discourse-generated feed, despite passing RSS validation checks. erlend_sh suggested contacting Hootsuite for assistance, as the issue appears to be specific to their platform. After further investigation, olea discovered the problem: Hootsuite’s system has a limit of 512KB for RSS feeds, and their feed exceeds this limit. codinghorror noted that the RSS validator’s approval confirms the feed is valid, and thus the issue lies with Hootsuite.
I’m using Hootsuite for managing our social networks at HackLab Almería. Hootsuite has a feature for autopublishing items using RSS feed. But for any reason I don’t know it doesn’t like our Discourse generated one:
The more annoying thing is this feature was working some months ago and now I realized it doesn’t, but don’t know if is related with a Discourse upgrade or what.
Anyone knows if something can be wrong at Discourse side? We are using a recent updated 1.6.0.beta12 +108 version.
Have you asked HootSuite if they know what might be going wrong? Afaik we haven’t received reports of RSS feeds failing in other apps, so this seems specific to HootSuite.
