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 bot@rss.ponder.cat. 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).
