[suggestion] Expose more endpoints as Atom feeds #5227

User story: I follow news updates with a feed reader (RSS and Atom). I follow microblog updates with a Mastodon client. I want to use a single application to receive all my updates, so that getting updates is simpler.

Suggested solution:

From Mastodon, expose public Atom feeds for:

And possibly expose private Atom feeds (requiring authentication) for:

This way I could receive news updates and microblog updates in my feedreader. (I'd still need to use a Mastodon client to reply and/or make new toots.)

Notes:

I'm suggesting Mastodon expose more Atom feeds since following generic RSS/Atom feeds is explicitly not on the Mastodon roadmap (to the best of my recollection, citation needed).

Is it possible that the links of the rss feed point to the toot link, not to a json blob? How?
