There's a problem with making feeds (syndicated journals) on LJ and clones -- mainly important for communities. If the feed is too big, the receiving journaling system can't handle it and shows an error message that it's too big in the feed user info. This happens when the first 25 posts have a content greater than 300kb. If you are the maintainer of a community, please read this!

brown_betty has a solution:

Check out your lj's rss settings at journalname.livejournal.com/data/atom (substitute your journal name and other journaling system name as appropriate).

If it's set to only show the subject heading, consider going to the admin console and changing your settings using "set synlevel level" and for level, substitute either "summary (first paragraph, so not really a summary) or "full" (like it sounds.) This might be especially helpful if you, like so many, title your entries whimsically.

ETA example: set synlevel title

Contrariwise, if you own a comm, consider setting it using "set for commname synlevel level" and for level, substitute either "title" or "summary", especially if your comm updates a lot.

ETA example: set for billyviggo synlevel summary

Thank you!


ETA: I thought I posted this over here on IJ, but it seems to have been set private, wtf? Anyway, am reposting with improved instructions, especially for communities.
