Does your problem still exist on the latest Forgejo version?

Unknown, I can't try it for some reason (please explain)

About your usage of Forgejo

I use a self-hosted instance of Forgejo (version 15.0.1)

Unfortunately I don't know a private/non-public repo on dev.next.forgejo.org and therefore can't test there.

Problem description

Repos provide RSS feeds with repo activity etc. This works with public repos.

Unfortunately, feeds for private (non-public) repos only work in the browser where I'm logged in (but are pointless there). In my feed reader (which doesn't have the login cookie), feeds for private repos result in a "404 not found" error.

It would be good to have a way to access these feeds via a feed reader, maybe by allowing to provide an access token in the URL, like https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo.rss?token=topsecrettoken

Potential workarounds

No response

Forgejo Version

15.0.1

Other details about your environment (software names and versions)
