RSS feed for a YouTube channel's Posts tab
YouTube serves an RSS feed for a channel's videos but none for its Posts tab, where channels announce, poll and share. MicroRSS reads the tab's page itself and turns each post into an entry.
Paste the channel's Posts tab link; a handle, a channel id or an old /c/ or /user/ address all work.

What you get
- Every post on the tab's first page: text with its links, images, polls and quizzes with their choices, shared videos with a thumbnail
- A title from the first line of the post, or "posted an image" when there is no text
- The channel's avatar as the feed icon
- A date within the hour: YouTube only says "4 days ago", MicroRSS fixes it on first sight
How to add it
- 1 Copy the link
Open the YouTube posts page you want to follow in your browser and copy its address.
- 2 Paste it into Add Feed
MicroRSS recognises the link and offers the feed; nothing else to fill in.
- 3 Read
New entries arrive on the feed's schedule, with the rest of your subscriptions.

Questions
- Does YouTube have an RSS feed for community posts?
- No. Only videos and playlists have one; MicroRSS reads the Posts tab from the page.
- Why is the post's time approximate?
- The page states "4 days ago", not a timestamp. MicroRSS records the time it first saw the post, minus that span, and keeps it.
