Event Feed Subscriptions?

Updated 01052023-190637


OP

Howdy!

I was wondering if it'd be possible for the forum admins to turn on(?) the setting in the Discourse Events plugin (which I'm assuming is being used, from what I can tell at the frontend) that would allow for a "Subscribe" link to be at the top of the Events category so that folks like me who use iCal subscriptions regularly might be able to benefit. (And Google Calendar users, directly, from what I can tell.)

Obviously, if this was an intentionally omitted capability, I understand - if you guys would rather not provide the feed, I'll start work on a Siri Shortcut that just scrapes the JSON.

Thanks for your time!
