Are the new RSS feeds misbehaving? (thebrainbin.org)

So noticed a few hours ago the feeds had changed.

However, each instance seems to behave differently from one another. Would have posted on Github if I could reproduce the errors consistently.

Here on TBB, any feeds give an unsupported format error.

On Kbin.Earth, the feeds give a 403 error instead.

On GehirnEimer, which I don't have an account on but can be browsed without an account, feeds work fine.

Tested with:

!norge@sh.itjust.works from TBB and Kbin.Earth on Newsboat
!onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone on all 3 instances on Newsboat and Waterfox's identification tool (Kbin.Earth can pull posts through Waterfox's tool though)
!anime_art@ani.social from TBB on Feeder from F-Droid
!artshare@lemmy.world through all instances through Newsboat, and Kbin.Earth and TBB through Feeder

So it is just the login requirement or did I miss something else? Allowing anonymous access to the endpoint would solve it then, but makes it also easy for scrapers to fetch content.

Appears to have been the solution. Tested a link yesterday night, after BentiGorlich's comment on the spike graph, and the direct links are back to being login-protected, though now feeds seem to be working.

...or maybe the login requirement was reactivated for everything and what I saw were the ripples of the small window it stayed active, given my test just now.

None
