Something in the rationalist-blog-mirroring machinery seems not to be working quite right.

This appears to be an update to this post from March but there's no obvious way to get there, or find it out, from the post here.

It seems like there should at least be automatic linkage to the original. The information is right there in the Atom feed that I assume is being used.

The core problem is that RSS doesn't have a standard way to indicate updates to already published posts. In https://www.jefftk.com/news.rss I have this as <link>https://www.jefftk.com/p/beantown-stomp-2020-retrospective#update-2020-10-08</link>, and this works fine in a standard feed reader, but because lesswrong is copying things over it doesn't work.

One option would be to create https://www.jefftk.com/lw.rss and have that exclude updates...
