I made some communities that are fed from batches of YouTube streamer RSS feeds:

• !econ_streams@rss.ponder.cat
• !science_streams@rss.ponder.cat
• !nerd_streams@rss.ponder.cat
• !diy_streams@rss.ponder.cat

I left them open for anyone to post videos that aren’t in the RSS feeds. Since they’re not flooded with content like some of the others, and not specific to one feed only, that seems like it should be fine. I’ll also add or remove streams if anyone decides they have preferences about what streams should go into each category.

I’m not sure how this will work. To be honest, it’s just me testing an idea. I probably will open up the RSS bot soon to people giving the bot RSS URLs and the bot creating communities for them, so maybe these should be one community per channel, with people signing themselves up instead of me curating a list of channels. I want to try this way first, though.

As always, let me know what you think.
