What you can achieve


You can connect any RSS or blog feed—including feeds from Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, and other federated networks—as a source. Juicer will automatically display new posts and images from these feeds in your social media wall.

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 ‎/rss or ‎.rss to the end of the profile or page URL.
  • Bluesky example:
    • For NASA on Bluesky:
      • Profile URL: ‎https://bsky.app/profile/nasa.bsky.social
      • RSS feed: ‎https://bsky.app/profile/nasa.bsky.social.rss
      • (Try ‎.rss at the end of the profile URL.)
  • Mastodon example:
    • For Ecosia on Mastodon:
      • Profile URL: ‎https://mastodon.social/@ecosia
      • RSS feed: ‎https://mastodon.social/@ecosia.rss
      • (Try ‎.rss at the end of the profile URL.)
  • Pixelfed example:
    • For Pixelfed, add ‎/rss to the user or tag URL.
  • Other blogs/websites:
    • Try adding ‎/feed to your blog's URL (for WordPress), ‎/rss (for Tumblr), or check the website’s source code for RSS links.

2. Add the RSS feed to Juicer

  • Log in to your Juicer account.
  • Add a new source Blog RSS
  • Paste the RSS feed URL and click Create Source.

3. Confirm posts and images appear

  • Juicer will pull in posts and try to display the top image for each.
  • Check your feed for new content.

Troubleshooting RSS & 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, review your RSS feed formatting, but chances are that version of RSS doesn’t support media.

2. Feed not updating?

  • Make sure the RSS feed is accessible and valid.
  • Check for typos in the URL.
  • For Bluesky, 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, ensure your RSS feed closely follows standard formatting.
