Lemmy RSS: retrieving more than 20 items (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi Lemmy friends,

Is there any way to have Lemmy's community RSS feeds provide more than 20 <item> tags at a time? Can I add a querystring variable to get the next page or two of data?

Background on what I'm trying to do: I run the Movie, TV and Game trailers community. I'd like to create a simple website / landing page that displays an ongoing roll of the latest/top/hot trailers posted to the community.

I can use the community's RSS feed for this, but the feed only includes a maximum of 20 entries (for an average end-to-end runtime of about one hour). I'd really like to get the next few pages of entries as well.

Thanks!

I don't think RSS is suited for getting more than just the latest entries in a feed.
What you're looking for is handled by the API which includes pagination.

Embrace ActivityPub and use the /outbox endpoint directly.

You can get 50 items at most with limit=50. Try
