I did some research and it looks like Atom is the better feed format to target. It is the format that Reddit targets, despite the .rss extension. There is another crate under the rust-syndication project on GitHub to handle Atom with a similar API to the rss crate.

Makes sense, I've never messed with rss feeds so I might need some help with this one.

i'm not sure what your backend is, but you would need a json to xml module and then you can create the rss format which is just xml.

I'm volunteering to take on this issue.

Sweet! lemme know if you need any assistance or have any questions. I don't know too much about rss, but can easily wire up the UI side of it if the server side is done.

Would also be nice to have an RSS/Atom feed for the user feed, rather than just individual forums.

I have had to abandon work on this due to personal time constraints. I will be able to pick it up later, but if someone else wants to take it over that would be fine with me.
