I can fetch the feed form this URL with curl 'https://b3ta.com/xml/combined.php?rdf=1' and see that there are entries as new as 2020-11-02T19:18:00+00:00 but the latest entry in NewsBlur is 2020-08-14.
Instant Fetch does not cause it to update. Using “Site Settings” shows an OK parse as late as 2020-11-17 20:26:45 OK (200). “Statistics” says “This site has published zero stories in the past month or has averaged less than a single story a month.” but curl 'https://b3ta.com/xml/combined.php?rdf=1' | grep '<dc:date>' shows two stories per month on average.
I’m new to NewsBlur so I may be misunderstanding something about how it works, but this seems odd.
I’m finding more of these. For example https://blog.perfectdayfoods.com/blog/rss.xml . In NewsBlur the last story is 2019-12-17 but curl shows the last entry correctly as 2020-10-10.
By the way, I’d appreciate it if some other NewsBlur reader could try out these feeds and see if they have the same issue, just to make sure my quirky setup isn’t causing it. Thanks!
Oh, the second feed, https://newsblur.com/site/8025234/perfect-day-blog, looks exactly like the feed. The 2020-10-10 date you’re seeing if the date the RSS feed was last updated. It’s not on an item but rather the channel.
