So it converts an RSS feed into a Lemmy community? That's a really cool idea!
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to [email protected].
That's the idea. Linkbot will scrape all of the feeds from the community sidebar and post new links from the RSS feeds.
Is the code for this open source? Could anyone add a link bot to their own private Lemmy instance with a custom collection of RSS feeds?
I have plans to open source linkbot once I clean up the code. It was thrown together in a couple of hours yesterday, so it's not well formatted. However, someone just commented on another post that they had just finished their bot and posted it to GitHub. I haven't looked into it at all, but you can find the link to that comment here.
Great stuff!
Most sites post so much content of which majority is pure garbage so the bot posting whole feeds seems like a worse value than just following news communities that have more curated feed. But nonetheless good luck with the project.
Also please mark @[email protected] as a bot account in settings.
I already blocked the bot, it's so much spam of so many themes it drowns everything else
good idea!
Great idea to let this platform grow even more. I'm subcribing to my first Lemmy.link communities right now, already loving it.
