Description
I have hookshot working in my room [#LateNightLinux:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#LateNightLinux:matrix.org) and some of the RSS feed items appear correctly.
However, some items never appear.
For example, it is now 2025-07-18T08:40 UTC and the latest item in the feed ( https://latenightlinux.com/feed/all ) is:
```
2.5 Admins 256: Why ZFS
https://latenightlinux.com/2-5-admins-256/
Thu, 17 Jul 2025 21:13:00 +0000
```
but this event does not appear in the room.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the RSS subscription in the #LateNightLinux:matrix.org room against https://latenightlinux.com/feed/all, checking whether the item dated 2025-07-17T21:13:00Z is fetched and then filtered or skipped. Trace the RSS handling entry point and compare this item with feed items that do appear; done means the missing item is delivered without regressing existing RSS notifications.
