Rss-bridge: [Facebook bridge] [error 500] The facebook pages don't seem to be public anymore.
I get error 500 with all my facebook pages and they don't seem to be public anymore.
A facebook decision Or is it just me ?

It's happening with me and my feeds as well. The problem seems to have started within the last 24 hours or so.

Seems to be a part of the Fxcebook redesign. _Not a single fucking page is public!_ as far as I can check. (Here's a reliable test I guess)
Groups appear to be public, but my only rss-bridged group doesn't work.
I couldn't find any information about pages becoming inaccessible for non-useds. This must be a new thing that hasn't been widely noticed yet.

It's not just you, I'm experiencing the same issue. Example:
Bridge returned error 500! (18524)
Facebook Bridge | Main Site was unable to receive or process the remote website's content!
Error message: `You must be logged in to view this page. This is not supported by RSS-Bridge.`
Query string: `action=display&bridge=Facebook&context=User&u=mglaofficial&media_type=all&limit=-1&format=Atom`
Version: `dev.2020-02-26`
The page was still public yesterday, but today it requires logging in. Must be a change on Facebook end.

I think it's a bug on facebooks end. The same thing happened before and was usually resolved within 24h.

Same problem here! And I believe some 12 hours ago it was still working.

Happening here too. It's not necessarily a bug though, Parler is another network that requires users to be logged in to view anything.

You must be logged in to view this page. This is not supported by RSS-Bridge.

Same here. I just faced it when trying to access some fanpage and hit the error message (don't have facebook at all).
It's abysmal that single error can "wipe out" something that was intended and should be public...

Just an Update
It seems that the problem is solved now. All Facebook pages are public again. BUT this is something that we should look at NOW. Facebook can change this at any time. But for now, its working again.

Good news. @bullride this isn't something which can be worked around without authentication, and Rss-Bridge is not designed to do that.

Sounds like this is also blocked on #1170 then

No, the Facebook login requirement was only temporary. This bug should be closed.

Oh, I see. I'm getting 500 errors when I try with the legospacebuilds group, but they're like this:
Facebook Groups was unable to receive or process the remote website's content!
Error message: `Failed finding posts!`
Query string: `action=display&bridge=Facebook&context=Group&g=legospacebuilds&limit=-1&format=Mrss`
Version: `dev.2020-02-26`
Which is not the login issue, that's a different bug?

Must be a different bug, I just loaded that group in an incognito window.
