Widget fetching but not posting entries

I'm trying to use the Widget for RSS feeds in Element on the web and it is successfully fetching but not posting anything.

Hey there 👋 . Can you give me the URL for your feed so I can investigate what's going on? If you rather it be confidential, you can DM me on Matrix via @Half-Shot:half-shot.uk.

So for this specific feed, I think the expectation is hookshot would post when there is an update to an entry rather than just new entries. We basically skip any guids we've seen before in the RSS feed to avoid reposting, so the problem is likely there. I can't see any issues with new posts on our staging instance but I will check next time the feed updates.

It's probably a reasonable feature to allow reposting existing entries if the pubDate has changed although I don't think we want to do this as standard.
