are there any RSS feed readers in the Fediverse? things like what Google Reader once was, what Inoreader / Feedly / etc are now?
One might then "boost" RSS items, for example, which would become sites for comment. (Ideally each RSS item would map to a globally unique ActivityPub article or note, though that might require use of something like a distributed hashtable to register "claims".)
