If you utilize XMPP, OStatus or ActivityPub accounts with services such as
Movim, StatusNet, Pleroma, Akkoma, Mitra, GNU Social, Mastodon, SoapBox or
others, then you can use your respective syndication feed of your account on
your home site, by adding the following HTML lines, respectively.

While any code would work, it is recommended to use the code with the proper
"type" attribute.

Atom Syndication Format
-----------------------

Most recommended.

.. code:: xml

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Set a title (Atom)" href="https://path/to/file.atom">

JSON Feed
---------

Lesser recommended.

.. code:: xml

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/json" title="Set a title (JSON)" href="https://path/to/file.json">

RDF
---

When applicable.

.. code:: xml

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rdf+xml" title="Set a title (RDF)" href="https://path/to/file.rdf">

RSS
---

Least recommended.

.. code:: xml

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Set a title (RSS)" href="https://path/to/file.rss">

Conclusion
----------

You are not limited to your ActivityPub or XMPP accounts, and you can add any
source of any account and type that you desire.

Good luck!
