Hello @rsc,

TL;DR: I believe your blog's feed is being served with the incorrect Content-Type. It should be application/atom+xml instead of text/plain.

I have followed your blog's feed with Feedly for a while. However, since switching to FreshRSS, I am unable to pull your blog's feed at https://research.swtch.com/feed.atom:

A feed could not be found at `https://research.swtch.com/feed.atom`; 
the status code is `200` and content-type is `text/plain; charset=utf-8` 
[https://research.swtch.com/feed.atom]

I took a look at two validators, both of which (1, 2) indicated that your feed was served with text/plain. FreshRSS uses a library called SimplePie which requires that the content be served with a Content-Type indicating it's an XML file.

Would you be able/willing to serve the /feed.atom file from your blog with a different Content-Type, like application/atom+xml, which would be supported by a wider range of RSS readers? Thanks!
