Yesterday I posted about rss.ponder.cat, with communities automatically fed from a selection of RSS feeds. Today I made !meta@rss.ponder.cat, with:

  • A sticky-post roadmap of the RSS feeds that are already available
  • A place for people to request communities to be added
  • A place for me to post announcements about new communities

I don’t plan to spam !newcommunities@lemmy.world with every new RSS feed, but I figured I would let people know the location of the community that will get announcements about new RSS feed communities, in case they want to subscribe to it.

Cheers!

    Speaking as the operator of u/Auto_Post_Bot@social.packetloss.gg … I think it’s kind of inevitable with the current design of lemmy for folks that browse “all” instead of subscribed … and in some cases local.

    As an example, Auto_Post_Bot posts news post to !zed@lemmy.world and !zed@programming.dev (the latter is recent per request from the admin over there, as they don’t want centralized communities)… So if your instance is “subscribed” to both, it’s going to be a “duplicate” post in the “all” feed.

      On lemmy-ui if both posts are both “visible” in the feed they will be compacted into one post if they share the same link meaning there wont be a duplicate post (unless you paginate and theyre on different pages)

      Some other frontends such as sync dont do this though but they really should
