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.
You can add them to any community :) I added a low volume feed to [email protected] as a test, and you can see the recent post it made
You can also chain multiple commands in one message iirc
I’m looking around for other feeds that don’t have too much spam. Some ideas include
