I’m having problems with this feed, Newsblur isn’t showing items from 2023:

In particular, I expected this blog post to show up, but it’s missing:
https://steveklabnik.com/writing/memory-safety-is-a-red-herring
I checked and if this is the same feed – NewsBlur – then the feed itself doesn’t have that story in it. Also, the feed is unordered. Go take a look at it, it’s got entries from 2018 at top. I’d email him and ask him to fix ordering in the RSS feed.
The feed has the item in it (see screenshot below).
The feed isn’t ordered by pubDate, but that date is accurate, and ordering isn’t a requirement for RSS feeds, AFAIK.
Just signed up to that feed and NewsBlur shows it as empty. He’s posting all the time.
Weird that it shows up empty. I subscribed to NewsBlur and it shows the latest stories:
I’d love to reproduce the issue though, but I suspect if you load the feed again it will load fine.
I should also mention that I have a big rewrite of feed adding and discovery coming very soon, and it has better mechanisms for handling feeds that dont show any stories. But that’s not out yet.
