rss.ponder.cat is live! You can have Lemmy communities fed by RSS news feeds:
A lot of big sites offer feeds for different categories of article, but I’m not sure it is smart to mirror every single one into a Lemmy community. The ones above, for periodicals like the BBC, are only the front page stories, which seems necessary for it not to turn into spam.
The Ars mirror, on the other hand, I broke down by category, at least partly. You can get all the articles:
- [email protected] - Every single article
- [email protected] - Only feature articles
Or, you can subscribe to individual categories of articles:
I’ll see how it goes. I don’t want it to become a source of spam.
If you want to have an RSS feed as a community, ask. They’re easy to add. Just say something and I’ll set it up.
Happy RSSing!
Forgot to say thanks yesterday, it looks good!
That makes sense to me about XKCD :) There’s also [email protected] for some of the other ones
Yep. I’m happy it’s working.
Comic strips seem like they have their own communities which I don’t want to collide with, and it’s logical, since the frequency of posting is so much smaller that a human can do the postings no problem.
