FIXED! RSS Feed Not Working?

[whateverg1012]

I use the RSS for the Site & Scene news, but it seems to have stopped working for me for the last 12 days. Anyone else having this problem?

Check your feed reader? Looking at my own (just using the Feeder extension for Chrome on desktop and Aggregator on my phone) I haven't had any issues, everything is loading fine.

I'm using Feeder as well, mind sharing the feed address you are using? My other feeds are working, just not gbatemp for some reason.

Sure, this is the URL:

https://gbatemp.net/forums/gbatemp-scene-news.101/index.rss

Which, checking against the RSS link on the forum, is exactly the same.

Feedly is working fine for the RSS, though I have noticed the discord rss bot no longer picks up the news feed

this is probably due to the anti-bot protection from cloudflare
I'll make some changes to bring this back

can you make a new try and tell me if it's OK now?

I am still having issues with the RSS feeds still not working.
When I try the RSS feed listed above TT-RSS gives the following error:

Couldn't download the specified URL: (feed behind Cloudflare)

I have tried multiple RSS readers
FreshRSS gives the following error

cURL error 22: The requested URL returned error: 403 [https://gbatemp.net/forums/switch-emulation-homebrew-software-projects.292/index.rss]

TT-RSS gives the following error for the same feed

thanks for the info, we're gonna do more tests and more changes...

No luck with Feedly, but I switched to a different RSS reader (NetNewsWire) and it seems to be working for me now.

@Costello - if you would like, I can create an account for you on my RSS reader that you can test with, just drop me a PM

this won't be necessary, I am able to reproduce the issue with several RSS clients.
The issue is that Cloudflare is blocking these clients because it thinks they're bots.
It doesn't look like there are simple solutions right now, it'll take us a bit of time to address the issue.

 

[Costello]

we have reverted some of the new protections we set up recently so that RSS clients can work normally again
would you guys be able to make new tests? thanks!

The feed is working again for me

I did notice another problem though, the links to them on the pages are using relative HREFs so some readers will try to get them like this: https://gbatemp.net/forums/nds-emul...rums/nds-emulation-and-homebrew.177/index.rss. I believe that just adding a / to the start of the HREF should fix that. The reader I noticed this problem in is Miniflux fyi.
