I thought that the problem of visibility and discoverability had already been solved two decades ago with syndacation.

If I bump on an article I like on somebody's website, and I like other articles on that website too, I instinctively look for a feed to subscribe to.

If there is, then I add it to the monitored feeds on my Miniflux instance. And I can even set rules on new feed items to automatically tag them, mark them as read or notify me through other means.

If the author doesn't write anything for a while, they'll still be there on my feed list. As soon as they publish something new, I'll see it regardless of any algorithmic black boxes.

Algorithmic timelines and the silent damnatio memoriae placed on RSS/Atom feeds have created a false problem of "discoverability and visibility" that didn't exist before.
