1. Is it possible to have a nim forum rss feed publicly?
2. I would like to follow the forum via the rss feed - without having to log in every time

Well after some digging I can recommend you the following. This will either work as a pull request for nimforum or as a seperate toy project.
1. Pull the threads from https://forum.nim-lang.org/threads.json(?start=30)
2. Read the rss spec at https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification
3. Use std/xmltree to generate a feed.
4. RSS Feed.

The forum already offers an Atom feed:

- http://forum.nim-lang.org/postActivity.xml

They do not seem to be discoverable. There's no <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"......> in the forum pages?

True, we should add that.

I wish this were possible
