@rseiler Is there anywhere else to post about this hard computer science problem in order to get it fixed?

Here. I know it says "Forum feedback", but any of Opera's websites can be discussed here, and the webmaster should notice.

The webmaster did notice

Thanks for reporting. Indeed this is a bug - I know I have seen that one before but I cannot find it actually reported in our internal bug tracker so I'll make sure it makes it there this time

To offer a bit of explanation: the /news blog is a tad special - it mostly contains articles from our other blogs (Desktop, Mobile, etc.). Without going into too much detail - there are very little actually published blog posts on /news but rather certain posts from other blogs are pulled from the database and injected into the front page as we prepare it for you. As a side effect there's a discrepancy between posts you see when you open the page in the browser and the posts that are rendered in the RSS feed (which only contains posts actually published in the /news blog). Of course this is not how we want this to work

As a workaround, for now, you could subscribe to RSS feeds of https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/ and https://blogs.opera.com/mobile/ (and any other of our blogs that you find of interest) - I've checked and they work as intended.

Thanks again!

Happy Friday!

I know it took embarrassingly long time to address this issue, but as of now the RSS feed for Opera News blog should finally work as it should
