   If I understand correctly, only public toots appear in a Mastodon user's RSS feed ( @feditips also seems to confirm this notion in this toot: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/108357998963885456 ), which is the correct choice in my belief.
   For some reason there is absolutely no documentation of how it works in the official docs site ??♀️

   Also it seems Mastodon also supported .atom feeds in the past but not anymore? as I said, no docs, so idrk.

     Yeah, the RSS on Mastodon only shows posts that are public anyway.

     If you use non-public posts on Mastodon, they will not appear in the RSS feed.

     So, the RSS feed doesn't really affect privacy on Masto.

     And yes the .atom feed seems to have gone.

     By the way, I've got RSS instructions on the fedi.tips website too:

     Unlisted posts (despite their slightly misleading name) are a form of public post.

     They don't appear on Explore or Local or Federated, however they do appear on public profile pages etc so anyone can see them.

     The non-public options on Mastodon are followers-only (as long as you have requests switched on) and direct/mentioned.

     @Yuvalne @kaedechan

     To be fair, Unlisted does say "visible to everyone" when you're posting, but the name is definitely misleading. Maybe it should be "Public but not listed" or something...?

     By the way, unlisted isn't an option on the official Masto app. No idea what this signifies though!

     @feditips @kaedechan exactly. Also, I've just tested to confirm, and yes, unlisted toots do appear in RSS feed. which again, isn't great.
