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.

Even better, you can then follow those communities as an RSS feed!
This is freaking awesome, can you combine several feeds into one community ?
No idea, what I linked is a built-in feature of Lemmy (every community has an RSS feed) but you'd have to ask OP about how their custom communities are created
It'd be easy to do. What did you want to have combined? I'm not sure it would be much better than people subscribing to multiple communities to combine different feeds together, but what were you thinking?
All related news feeds for example:
- Linux
- Gaming
- Self Hosting
I don't think mirroring from Lemmy RSS to Lemmy is useful, though. Is that what you're talking about? Why not just subscribe to the different available communities?
I was talking about multiple RSS feeds, for example: ZDNET Linux + Phoronix auto-posted to one Lemmy community.
Oh, got it. That's a really good idea. Although I do think that the comment recommending fediverser.network may be a better way. You can avoid duplicate stories from multiple news sources, and cast a wider net without creating overwhelming spam, as well as integrating better with a flexible local community.
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.
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^^
Yes, please.
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.
!hackaday@rss.ponder.cat
Thank you!
Hmm, Church and State... I much prefer having a separate RSS reader (FreshRSS in my case) for news, as I see it, and lemmy for more frivolous purposes. YMMV.
Same here. This seems valuable for anyone who would want Lemmy to be a first-class RSS reader. But I prefer to just use my RSS reader and add feeds to that.
I use a combination of RSS feeds provided by Lemmy and the ones provided by openrss.org, which has most if not all news sites nytimes, bbc, etc.
I think they can both be useful. Some people will prefer to have an RSS reader pulling the feeds from Lemmy communities, and some people will prefer to have Lemmy as their home base, so to speak, and like to be able to add updates from some RSS feeds to that.
This is awesome! I feel like you've really improved Lemmy with this. Be proud!
😁
Interesting idea!
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.
There's a server doing that already, I think https://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.
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.

and
Phys.org does what some of the others do, offer a massive menu of options for the RSS feeds. I picked out their top stories feed only, to cut down on spam. I don't want to have a huge list of bot-posted communities with no activity. Are there any of the specific ones that you want to have, besides the top headlines?
Awesome, thanks for creating the communities.
Top stories are fine for Phys. 👌
Have a great day, dude.
Ooh, this is very interesting. I'm a sucker for emulator progress reports, just a fascinating intersection of programming, graphics, and gaming. My personal RSS feeds right now (which I'd love to add lemmy discussion to) are:
https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/feeds/ https://pcsx2.net/blog/rss.xml https://www.libretro.com/index.php/feed/ https://blog.ryujinx.org/rss/ https://xenia.jp/feed.xml
I made !emulator_announce@rss.ponder.cat with all of those feeds. I'm not sure, but I think that will be more useful than breaking it out into a bunch of communities and letting people deal with them individually. Is that just as useful for you?
I'm inclined to agree! That's awesome, adding that to my following immediately.
TL.net would be great for esports news https://tl.net/rss/news.xml
if tl is too short for a community name, maybe tl_net or teamliquid_net or something like that
it will be a good source to cross-post from (I wish Lemmy users used cross-posting more)
There seems to be a federating issue with programming.dev 🤔
Maybe an IPv6 issue? Can one of the admins see what the error is on their end when the communication with rss.ponder.cat is attempted?
