A lot of websites dump the entire feed --- that's nice. Ideally for bandwidth
efficiency, combine multiple delivery strategies.

1. A partial content feed
   ([Atom](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(Web_standard)>) preferred)
   limited to the last `3/5/10` posts for quick queries.

2. A full content {{< abbr RSS "Really Simple Syndication" >}} feed of a similar
   limit for fresh content.

3. A hidden/unlisted feed for dumping all content (mirror).

Alternatively, just implement atom's
[collection partial lists](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5023#section-10.1)
for feed pagination. If your post bandwidth (size/frequency) is low, then
pretend you didn't see this --- be lazy and optimize later.
