Ever wanted to have an RSS feed in Lemmy? Well now you can!

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:

!nytimes@rss.ponder.cat

!bbc@rss.ponder.cat

!arstechnica_science@rss.ponder.cat

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

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.

I think @rglullis@communick.news 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.
