<p dir="auto"><a class="user-mention notranslate" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/daishu0000/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/daishu0000">@daishu0000</a> thanks for starting this discussion.</p>
<p dir="auto">As <a class="user-mention notranslate" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/tomhughes/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/tomhughes">@tomhughes</a> says, the feed is designed to show the most recent traces for the given user or tag, and like all RSS feeds is designed to be periodically polled to find new entries in that list.</p>
<p dir="auto">The feeds are not designed to be a paginated API to programmatically fetch traces in general. If we wanted to offer that functionality, it would be through the API, i.e. with a path starting <code class="notranslate">/api/0.6/</code></p>
<p dir="auto">I've checked the behaviour of the RSS feed, and also the controller code, and the pagination parameters are ignored, so there's nothing we need to change here.</p>
<p dir="auto">As for the behaviour of the button in general UX terms, it's more a pity that RSS/Atom feeds are less widely used and less widely known, compared to when this feature was originally implemented. Most browsers now just handle them as any XML download, rather than recognising them as a feed and helping the user subscribe to them. But short of removing the button completely and fully relying on the <code class="notranslate"><head></code> tags for feed discovery, I don't think there's anything else we can do.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm happy to close this issue, and leave the behaviour of the link as it is now.</p>
