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:

[email protected]

Leave a comment with any RSS feed and I'll create a community for it, and then you can have RSS in your Lemmy.

Check it out!

May I ask what communities are you interested in? I don't want to automatically post things, but you might be interested in the "Community Ambassadors" feature of https://fediverser.network. Ambassadors can add multiple RSS feeds and use them as source of content to their communities, and then they can repost whatever they think is interesting.

Currently I’m missing:

Apple Maps
Aqara
FIREUK
Monzo
ipv6
tradfri
trading212
TrySwitchBot
Withings
OctopusEnergy

It’s a pretty big list, but these are the main communities which force me to still have Reddit account. Maybe one day we will be able to complete get rid of it but not today.

This is not a long list at all, and some of these communities you are mentioning might be a good for https://indiehackers.space. The best way you can help me now is by signing-up to https://fediverser.network and adding the subreddits that you are missing and use the "request a community" for the ones that are missing.

I also went ahead and created [email protected] if you want to get started. :)

I think @[email protected] has a suggestion that is better than using Reddit's RSS through my tool. Importing Reddit communities via RSS may become spam and stunt the growth of a real local community based around the same topic.

Wait posts will be manually reposted by real users?

I may be ok with that. I hate non-useful Reddit repost bots and I’m banning/defederating them instance wide.

If things will work manually, I would ask users if they want it. What do you think @[email protected]?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. The idea is to move away from automatic reposting and simply to make it as easy as possible to bring the content from other places and to show people on Reddit that they can migrate easily.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

This is an absolutely excellent idea. I don't think I will allow this for Reddit feeds, since there are two better ways of getting them on Lemmy already.

I think it's a pretty decent feature to have
