Allow micro.blog read its own RSS feed please

For some reason, micro.blog itself cannot read it’s own RSS feeds. This is.. really strange. For instance, Account > Sources > Import posts to blog: (name)

Choose www.osinia.dev/feed.json

Status:

Feed: Downloading feed — www.osinia.dev/feed.json

Multiple Errors (repeating same error below multiple times):

Feed: Can’t import posts from a blog hosted on Micro.blog, feed 4769328

I’m pretty sure @manton added that limitation as a simple way to avoid ending up in an infinite import loop. Without that safeguard, a Micro.blog user could import blog posts into the original blog itself. That would add the imported posts to the feed, which would then get imported again, which would add them to the feed again, and so on… You get the idea. :blush: An infinite loop like that would eventually crash the server.

Blocking any feed with a Micro.blog origin from being imported is the easiest fix to prevent that problem. Still, maybe @manton could tweak the safeguard a bit so it only blocks importing into the origin blog, but allows importing into other Micro.blog blogs.

In the meantime, we can think of workarounds together. What are you trying to do with this, have two Micro.blog blogs with identical content?

I have one blog that is game development centric. And a personal blog that has all my other stuff, that I want to also import my game dev blog posts.
