Can we mirror very niche Reddit communities? Edit: would be great to have a website where we could paste the RSS feed and get this set up automatically.

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.
