Q&A

Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Category RSS feeds should feature a post when an answer is posted

The category RSS feeds (for example https://meta.codidact.com/categories/3/feed.rss) are a nice touch for being able to follow what's going on on a site (or in a favorite category) without having to check in manually.

However, there's a discrepancy between the category "activity" tab on the web site and the corresponding RSS feed, which makes the RSS feed rather less useful than it could be:

The RSS feed only reflects newly posted questions, not answers or any other activity on the questions.

I don't suppose there's any chance the category RSS feeds could at least feature also recently-answered posts? Maybe with an associated notice at the top of each entry like "A new question has been posted:" or "A new answer has been posted to this question:" or something like that.

Since the "activity" tab already basically does this, it seems like it should be fairly doable without a major performance impact.

Should be completed with the next deploy - the entry's updated value will now reflect the post's last activity, including any new answers, and the feed should be ordered by activity.
