Hacker News 20/50/100 RSS feeds are down – Who manages them?

10 points by t3ra 11y ago ↗ HN

"Hacker News 10/20/50/100" feeds really helped in avoiding the overload.

While their twitter bots (@newsyc20/@newsyc50/etc) are still active the feedburner feeds are down since 13 March! (http://feeds.feedburner.com/newsyc20)

Is the author (Jeff Miller according to [1]) still active on HN ?

Looks like the old twitter v1 api supported RSS response format, but not anymore. That's really unfortunate. Anyone know of a generic twitter-to-rss conversion tool/app/service?

If you're looking for an alternative, may I suggest giving http://hnrss.org a try?

I built it to scratch an itch, but I love seeing others use it.

Add "?points={10,20,50,100}" to activate the points threshold (e.g., http://hnrss.org/newest?points=50).

Also has feeds for stuff like Ask HN, searches, user comments, etc.

Amazing, thanks for this! I'd been trying to get by with using http://twitrss.me and @newsyc150 but the lag was bugging me.
