@edavies @neil that can be mitigated by reducing the number of articles in a feed. 150 is extremely high IMHO. A good value is a function of how often a site updates; I picked 5 for my infrequently-updated site.

@neil @edavies I was surprised to discover that FreshRSS (I'd wager one of the most popular readers these days) still handles this badly: if I added your feed to my instance, you'd drown out all other feeds in the recent list. I don't know why FreshRSS does this, rather than honour the entry dates; perhaps it's configurable. But if other readers behave similarly, that's one reason to avoid having huge lists of entries in feeds.

@edavies @DamonHD @neil I didn't know about paged feeds/RFC 5005, very interesting, thank you. Sadly even if e.g. FreshRSS supported it, FreshRSS's poor behaviour with new feeds (all entries are considered 'new', drowning out the recent timeline) could carry across if it just walked the links. So it's orthogonal to that problem (but I agree useful for the bandwidth problem)
