I know about boards.4chan.org/g/index.rss existence, but I’m looking for less shitposts and more useful stuff from there. Do you have any rss feed you could share or know how to get it?

I’ve come up with simple condition that the more replies it has, the more useful post is. There are exceptions though.

Yeah, the usual /pol/ ragebait spam and s4s cross-board shit posting and porn while jannies are asleep gets tons of replies.

Information isn’t born on 4chan, it just tends to get linked there before a lot of other places, but you can instead build an RSS feed of primary sources and have a lot of the same info. As fun as that zoo is, I think getting a consistently quality curated info feed from it is almost impossible.

The first step is to install Gentoo.

Seriously, I don’t think that there’s a way to filter it. Plus /g/ isn’t even a good news source, it’s a somewhat decent place for discussions and that’s it.

You’d probably need to write a script that parses the RSS then strips out anything without enough comments. You’d then need to either serve the new stripped RSS via HTTP unless you need just the RSS file itself. It would be pretty easy to do if you know any programming language.

Personally I’d use Ruby or Crystal but that’s only because I’m well-versed in both already.
