Follow RSS feeds from Lemmy

Ever wanted to have an RSS feed in Lemmy? Well now you can!

rss.ponder.cat is set up to mirror any RSS feed into a community. You can subscribe to the feed like any other community and you’ll get every new story as a Lemmy post.

Check it out:

!nytimes

!bbc

!arstechnica_science

Leave a comment with any RSS feed and I’ll create a community for it, and then you can have RSS in your Lemmy.

Check it out!

Simpsons reference: your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your communities

As someone who has been using RSS readers multiple times per day since 2009, I like the idea of being able to have threaded conversations with you lot on the stuff I’m reading all day.

I like RSS but there’s no way to sort through the actually interesting content vs. just literal ads (looking at you, TechRadar).

Crowd sourcing the content helps.

Any chance to tell us what tool you use for that?

I have some communities where i’d like to automatically post github release posts into.

PhilipTheBucket OP ,

It’s a hacked-together python script. Should I try to clean it up and open source it? It’s not well-organized right now, though.

I’d be interested, yes.

But if you don’t feel like publishing it at the current state and don’t plan to “clean it up” any time soon, don’t rush it. There are some bots out there that could do the trick if i sit down properly^^

Maeve ,

Yes, please.

Awesome. I always thought Lemmy would make a great RSS reader!

It says all these communities are completely empty?

PhilipTheBucket OP ,

I just set it up. Everyone’s afraid to break the seal.

Oh it’s working now, cool. I can send you my whole OPML if ya want 😅

PhilipTheBucket OP ,

Let’s have it 😄

I don’t know how to send it to ya. Shoot me a message on Matrix @Ulrich:nope.chat

smeg ,

Even better, you can then follow those communities as an RSS feed!

notabot ,

If you could, I’d appreciate HackADay. I’ve found a community for it on lemmy.ml, but it only seems to have one post from a year ago.

hPkEud74N6DJ ,

Can we mirror very niche Reddit communities? Edit: would be great to have a website where we could paste the RSS feed and get this set up automatically.

PhilipTheBucket OP ,

Whatever you want, yes. I separated it from the main server exactly so that all kinds of stuff could get mirrored without creating a problem.

May I ask what communities are you interested in? I don’t want to automatically post things, but you might be interested in the “Community Ambassadors” feature of fediverser.network. Ambassadors can add multiple RSS feeds and use them as source of content to their communities, and then they can repost whatever they think is interesting.

Currently I’m missing:

  • Apple Maps
  • Aqara
  • FIREUK
  • Monzo
  • ipv6
  • tradfri
  • trading212
  • TrySwitchBot
  • Withings
  • OctopusEnergy

It’s a pretty big list, but these are the main communities which force me to still have Reddit account. Maybe one day we will be able to complete get rid of it but not today.

rglullis ,
@rglullis@communick.news avatar

This is not a long list at all, and some of these communities you are mentioning might be a good for indiehackers.space. The best way you can help me now is by signing-up to fediverser.network and adding the subreddits that you are missing and use the “request a community” for the ones that are missing.

I also went ahead and created !applemaps if you want to get started. :)

Wait posts will be manually reposted by real users?

I may be ok with that. I hate non-useful Reddit repost bots and I’m banning/defederating them instance wide.

If things will work manually, I would ask users if they want it. What do you think @QuazarOmega?

rglullis ,
@rglullis@communick.news avatar

Exactly. The idea is to move away from automatic reposting and simply to make it as easy as possible to bring the content from other places and to show people on Reddit that they can migrate easily.

onlinepersona ,

There’s a server doing that already, I think lemmit.online

Registrations are closed - This isn’t supposed to be a community in itself, but to provide Reddit content to those who miss it in these early days of the Reddit migration.

Still very active from what I can see.

There seems to be a federating issue with programming.dev 🤔
