Hello everyone!
If you moderate a community, and you want to get automatic posts from an RSS feed, now you can. It can be used for release posts for a FOSS project, infrequent blog postings that are relevant to your community, or things like that.
To do this, send a private message to [email protected]. The commands are:
- /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
Please don’t spam. You need to be a moderator of the community to modify its feed settings, but it’s still possible for moderators to spam the rest of their instance with nonsense. Be a good Lemmy. If you’d like an RSS feed that’s going to post a lot, and you want to separate it into a place where it won’t invade the rest of Lemmy in a flood, send me a message and we can work it out.
Enjoy! Have fun.
Sounds like a really useful project. do you have a link to the source code? (hopefully it is open source) , or a github/codeberg/whatever link? (so that people could easily submit issues). i can add it to awesome lemmy (or you can do it, its fairly easy).
