The Additional Lore Skill Feat states:
Prerequisite(s) trained in Lore
Your knowledge has expanded to encompass a new field. Choose an additional Lore skill subcategory. You become trained in it. At 3rd, 7th, and 15th levels, you gain an additional skill increase you can apply only to the chosen Lore subcategory.
Special You can select this feat more than once. Each time you must select a new subcategory of Lore and you gain the additional skill increases to that subcategory for the listed levels.
Backgrounds generally give you training in one Lore subcategory.
For example, I took the Mining background and am trained in Mining Lore.
Would my Mining Lore automatically gain additional skill increase at 3rd, 7th, and 15th levels? Or does this only apply to the Lore subcategory taken, with the Additional Lore skill feat?
That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification.

It only applies to the lore you chose with the additional lore feat. So don't pick a background that gives you the lore you actually want to autoadvance.
A friendly GM may waive this.
So I took the existence of this feat to mean it's the only way to gain more lore, but can you just add lore with skill increases?
Sure you can. The problem is that most people would rather advance more generally useful skills with their skill increases. The Additional Lore skill feat provides enough extra goodies to make them consider acquiring and advancing a Lore skill.

Or be a gnome/get adopted by a gnome to get the Gnome Obsession ancestry feat.
