Hi everyone.

I enabled the bot to add RSS feeds to any community. What you need to do is message the bot:

  • /add $rss_url $community@$instance - Add a new RSS feed
  • /delete $rss_url $community@$instance - Unlink an existing RSS feed from the community
  • /list $community@$instance - List all feeds for a community
  • /help - Show this help message

For example:

/add https://hackaday.com/blog/feed/ hackaday@rss.ponder.cat

I’m still testing out the command interface but I poked at it a little bit, and it worked a little bit. Try it out, let me know what you think, and if it gives you any trouble reach out to me.

You need to be a moderator of the community in order to subscribe to feeds within that community.

Enjoy! Have fun with it.

    Excellent tool. Auto-posting new articles saves time and effort from going toward tedious repetitive tasks — exactly what technology should do!

    Just a heads-up, this post (because it originates from ponder.cat, not rss.ponder.cat), doesn’t federate with the same instances that rss.ponder.cat federates from. Probably a good idea to have this post originate from the admin@rss.ponder.cat account.

      I don’t plan to make any extra effort to cater to instances that want to defederate from ponder.cat or block me personally. As far as I can see, that’s the only situation where it would make a difference whether something was posted from ponder.cat or rss.ponder.cat.
