Mastofeed feed won't update (alien.top)

I have a Mastodon feed on my blog through Mastofeed.com. However, it never updates. You have to completely clear your browser cache every time you want it to update. This is true on all browsers, including Chrome and Firefox.

How do I fix this? This is unacceptable.

mastofeed has been quite unreliable for me as well. it marks the feed as unavailable very frequently so i have to relogin regularly to activate it again and refresh. i am considering going back to self installed app solutions available on github. i mean it is a free service so i get it. honestly, mastodon should consider including rss feed to post support internally for accounts that are designed to post updates from websites. it is one of the popular purpose of social media networks like X and Mastodon. Native support would make it such a powerful platform for anyone trying to share their content on fediverse. Anyways.
