You can connect any RSS or blog feed — including Mastodon, Pixelfed, and other federated networks — as a source in Juicer. New posts and images then flow into your social media wall automatically.
What you can achieve
RSS gives you a way to add content from networks that don't have a direct Juicer integration. If a site publishes an RSS feed, Juicer can read it and surface posts, titles, and (when available) the lead image.
How to find and add an RSS or blog feed
1. Find your RSS feed URL
General method:
Look for an RSS icon or link on the site.
Try adding
/rssor.rssto the end of the profile or page URL.
Mastodon example:
For NASA on Mastodon:
Profile URL:
https://mastodon.social/@nasaRSS feed:
https://mastodon.social/@nasa.rss(Add
.rssat the end of the profile URL.)
Pixelfed example:
Add
/rssto the user or tag URL.
Other blogs and websites:
Try adding
/feedto a WordPress blog URL,/rssfor Tumblr, or check the website's source code for RSS links.
2. Add the RSS feed to Juicer
Log in to your Juicer account.
Open the Sources panel and add a new Blog RSS source.
Paste the RSS feed URL and click
Add source.
3. Confirm posts and images appear
Juicer pulls in posts and tries to display the top image for each.
Check your feed for new content.
Troubleshooting RSS and blog sources
1. Images not displaying
Juicer attempts to pull the top image using standard RSS tags or post-body image tags.
If images are missing, the RSS feed's format likely doesn't expose media — try a different feed URL on the same site, or check the feed in an RSS reader to confirm the image tags are present.
2. Feed not updating
Make sure the RSS feed URL is accessible and valid.
Check for typos in the URL.
For Mastodon or Pixelfed, verify the RSS link is public and not restricted.
Important notes
⚠️ RSS feeds vary in format and may not always include images.
🎗️ For best results, use an RSS feed that closely follows standard formatting.
If a specific RSS feed isn't pulling posts, or images appear elsewhere but not in Juicer, send us the RSS URL and the feed name through contact us, and we'll trace what the parser sees on its end.
