RSS would probably be fine for that. Our town government still posts to Facebook, but least they mirror everything on their own site. It doesn’t seem to have RSS, but it’s better than nothing, and thankfully they quit twitter.
Something else I would love is if there was a platform for posting Instagram-type posts to somewhere open in addition to Instagram. I want to follow local artists, businesses, etc. without using Instagram, but it needs to be frictionless for non-technical people and still reach Instagram for them to consider it.
RSS is already baked into mastodon for anyone wanting to use it.
There’s still a need for some kind of service to push updates to other platforms. FB, Twitter, bsky, insta, these all have APIs to allow posts in, but have few resources to let posts flow out. So fuck 'em. They get to be at the tail end of the content centipede.
From a department owner’s perspective, the less time they think about wireup for social media stuff, the better. Post once and let it all roll out to secondary platforms.
And, IIRC, Pixelfed is the fediverse version of insta. I poked around it, but I was never really an instagram-type person.
