I noticed that the majority of the feed readers are still pointing to old feed URLs, in particular "/node/feed" and "/rss-articles/". So I added a permanent redirect to the .htaccess for those and make them point to the correct feed "atom.xml".
I needed also a redirect for some query based URLs, so I added some mod_rewrite to the htaccess (a normal redirect doesn't work on query based URLs).

Also, there are different feeds available, I created a list in the newly created Help section. The default feed includes both the weblog and photo items, but there is a separate feed available for the photos only. I can understand the desire for some oral silence and visual pollution.
