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.

    Wait posts will be manually reposted by real users?

    I may be ok with that. I hate non-useful Reddit repost bots and I’m banning/defederating them instance wide.

    If things will work manually, I would ask users if they want it. What do you think @QuazarOmega@lemy.lol?

      Exactly. The idea is to move away from automatic reposting and simply to make it as easy as possible to bring the content from other places and to show people on Reddit that they can migrate easily.

        This is an absolutely excellent idea. I don’t think I will allow this for Reddit feeds, since there are two better ways of getting them on Lemmy already.
