   Can someone explain how you would do this by hand?

     @gabriel basically you do a GET on the actor URL and extract the outbox URL from the JSON. Then you query it and it gives you json, and properties for next and previous paging. you need to send the right headers to get the data.
     
     what language do you usually use that you would want example in, if I know it I can write an example in that language.

     @gabriel I'll give you instructions using the shell, modify for any programming language:
     
     if you have a handle, you get the actor URL like this:
     
     curl -s "https://mk.gabe.rocks/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:gabriel@mk.gabe.rocks" | jq -r '.links[] | select(.type == "application/activity+json") | .href'
     
     gets you:
     
     https://mk.gabe.rocks/users/9738e4n8u0
     
     then you query it like this to get the outbox:
     
     curl -s -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://mk.gabe.rocks/users/9738e4n8u0 | jq -r .outbox
     
     The box is (maybe) paged so you need to query the first page:
     
     curl -s -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://mk.gabe.rocks/users/9738e4n8u0/outbox | jq .first
     
     https://mk.gabe.rocks/users/9738e4n8u0/outbox?page=true
     
     query that:
     
     curl -s -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' "https://mk.gabe.rocks/users/9738e4n8u0/outbox?page=true"
     
     the property "orderedItems" will get you the raw activitypub objects. you can filter on
     
     type: Note
     and get the "content" property and you'll get the HTML content of the post.
     
     To get the next page of results, then get the "next" propert, for example yours is:
     
     "next": "https://mk.gabe.rocks/users/9738e4n8u0/outbox?page=true&until_id=a4imasfct8"
     
     I am assuming that your outbox is formatted a specific way, it's possible it's not paged, in which case some of the queries are different but I am pretty sure 100% of outboxes will work.
     
     also lmao a lot more complicated than RSS.
     
     Let me know if you need more info.

     @sun@shitposter.world
     I was just wondering what the outbox structure is, whats the URL for the actor? (say me for example)

     @gabriel even though it's more steps the good news is that it's mostly just more steps without
     "if this then this". There's a little of that but it can all be handled.

     @gabriel also if you know the remote server is on mastodon I think that they have RSS for accounts by just putting /rss on the end of the user url but I am not sure

     @sun @gabriel ".rss" (vs "/rss")
