I think account-specific and private feeds would both need authentication. My reasoning is that:
i would like to specifically express my support for the 'show me the context' entry here
currently, if a post is a response to something, i have to work out from context clues whether a post is a response to something at all. sometimes, this is not at all obvious, and entirely the wrong impression is given as a result
also, i like catching up on rss feeds in situations where i don't have an internet connection, where there's no way to even check to see if there's context i'm missing when i suspect there might be. this is particularly frustrating
putting past context into attributed <blockquote>s before the post content would, i think, be the ideal solution, for my reading habits at least. if i encounter duplicates, i can scroll past them, like on the website
having recently started setting up cohost RSS feeds I definitely think the biggest thing here for me would be the fact that it's impossible to tell if something is a reply (maybe some kind of edit to the 'by' field? to make it look like ^@[RSSfeeduser] or something to remind me to click through before figuring it out myself would do

I am a heavy RSS user, and for years I've consumed Tumblr primarily through RSS. I'm thrilled that cohost has non-experimental RSS feeds now, but I think there are a few changes that could make them much better:
