Hello everyone! 🎉

I’ve created an RSS Feed Bot that automates sharing news in Lemmy and Fediverse channels, helping to keep Fediverse users better informed. The bot is written in Python3 and can easily run via Docker Compose.

Hope you find it useful! 🚀

Great. More bot content on Lemmy.

Hahah, it is just a RSS feed bot :'(…

In order to share more interesting articles easier to build communities.

I view this the same way i view reddit mirror bots. Flooding Lemmy with inauthentic automated content will reduce the overall community interaction and quality. Not all communities / instances allow this kind of content, so be sure to contact the mods before implementing it.

Interesting articles should be curated by humans before posting.

… and enhanced by a sentence or two why it is worthwhile. Getting really tired of the no-effort link drops around here. Better yet, the same no-effort link drop to multiple similar communities on various instances.

Is there a block function for link-only posts?

Are there filters to prevent seeing duplicate content?

People know what it is. That’s why they’re down voting it. These don’t build communities.

We all have access to RSS and can create our own sets of feeds. Posts are for the things that are worth talking about. Spamming a community makes it harder to find the interesting things.

I mean, I see a usecase for that, given you make a separate community for that, and not, say, spam c/technology with everything posted on XDA. So, kinda like RSS with comments. I personally follow hackaday both here and via RSS.

Alternatively, one can mirror someone who publishes rarely and only cool stuff. I remember mr.d0x being such a guy (now I don’t really follow security-related things much, so mb it’s changed, but I doubt it)

Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔
