Syndicating an RSS feed to Mastodon using a Cloudflare worker

Everything shared from my site to Mastodon runs out of a single all activity RSS feed. You're welcome to subscribe to it, but it's formatted with social syndication in mind — emojis, hashtags and truncation that match that use case. This feed is populated from a fairly verbose processContent collection. It also populates my sitemap and search index since there's plenty of overlap in format and the data being handled. Anyways.

Eleventy collections using the built in tags key

In Eleventy, when you place a JSON file, with the same name, as the folder, within that folder, the data from the JSON file is automatically applied to all files within that folder. This mechanism is a convenient way to apply metadata to a group of files without having to manually include it in each file.

Eleventy Nested Pagination

Eleventy (the cool static site generator) has a great feature called Pagination which allows you to iterate over a list of things in chunks and produce multiple output files. As I was migrating this very site over to Eleventy, I found I needed to perform a double pagination. This is when, during paginating over a list of blog post years, I found I wanted to also paginate again over the posts in those years, so I could have at most 20 posts on a single list page.
