Ever wanted to have an RSS feed in Lemmy? Well now you can!
rss.ponder.cat is set up to mirror any RSS feed into a community. You can subscribe to the feed like any other community and you’ll get every new story as a Lemmy post.
Check it out:
!arstechnica_science@rss.ponder.cat
Leave a comment with any RSS feed and I’ll create a community for it, and then you can have RSS in your Lemmy.

TL.net would be great for esports news https://tl.net/rss/news.xml
if tl is too short for a community name, maybe tl_net or teamliquid_net or something like that
it will be a good source to cross-post from (I wish Lemmy users used cross-posting more)
As someone who has been using RSS readers multiple times per day since 2009, I like the idea of being able to have threaded conversations with you lot on the stuff I’m reading all day.
I like RSS but there’s no way to sort through the actually interesting content vs. just literal ads (looking at you, TechRadar).
Crowd sourcing the content helps.
Yes. I want to avoid having it become spam, so I decided to be careful which RSS feeds I add to keep the human-to-bot ratio up.
I mean you can leverage the votes of Lemmy to drown out ads from otherwise-interesting sources.
Even better, you can then follow those communities as an RSS feed!
This is freaking awesome, can you combine several feeds into one community ?
It’d be easy to do. What did you want to have combined? I’m not sure it would be much better than people subscribing to multiple communities to combine different feeds together, but what were you thinking?
Any chance to tell us what tool you use for that?
I have some communities where i’d like to automatically post github release posts into.
It’s a hacked-together python script. Should I try to clean it up and open source it? It’s not well-organized right now, though.
