Hey, I’m thinking about creating a web-based (PWA) app for subscribing to Lemmy RSS feeds, mainly for notifications.

I’ve noticed that I strongly prefer to be notified of changes in my inbox or in my subscribed communities and I’m using a simple RSS reader now, but it doesn’t really cut it for Lemmy.

Would anyone be interested in using such app? I’ll greatly appreciate feedback :)

See I’m thinking about going in the other direction and creating a Lemmy instance that has a back end that pulls in RSS feeds and exposes them as communities to a Lemmy client. Is anyone interested in that?

Sure. It’s better to have an app made specifically for Lemmy than generic RSS reader. Keep us posted.

I would be interested! The more things we can build for Lemmy and the Fediverse, the better!

So you’re thinking to make something that will create feeds from your replies/mentions/messages? That would definitely be handy, although I’d personally find more use in something that could send you notifications to something like ntfy.sh.

I’m thinking about creating feeds and then displaying updates in form of a notification :) Thanks for the link!
