Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are some creators that produce a mix of content I care for and content I don't care for. Many of them have playlists grouping their content. It would be great to be able to subscribe to a playlist and this follow their relevant content. However, the RSS feed for a playlist only contains the 15 first (i.e., usually oldest) videos of the playlist, making it rather useless for this purpose.

Describe the solution you'd like
I was hoping invidious would have the data to generate a better RSS feed, that contains the entire playlist (or maybe the 15 last, i.e. usually most recent, videos).

Describe alternatives you've considered
None that I can think of.

I believe that depends on the creator of the playlist. By default new videos are added to the bottom of the playlist and this they don't get updated in RSS(atom) feed. I don't know if invidious handle this on their own or simply take rss feeds as is from youtube, but youtube RSS feed works exactly the same way. You could either ask the creator to fix their playlists, or maybe you could subscribe to their entire channel and apply rules to the feed, so you'd only get videos you're interested in. That might work if they have consistent naming scheme, for example.

Anyway, I agree, it would be nice if invidious gave us an option to use playlists (and subscribe to the feeds) in reverse order.

The latter. We don't have any logic for RSS (actually Atom) feeds.
We act as a simple proxy over Youtube's own feeds.
