@prologic@twtxt.net Currently, yarnd links @david@daiwei.me’s mention to /external?uri=… that results in an HTTP 404 “Cannot find external feed”. I reckon no user on this yarnd is subscribed to @mlot@tilde.club’s feed, hence there’s nothing to show. Just fetching the feed on demand of course isn’t an option for privacy and security reasons, at least not for anonymous users.
