Hello, Is it possible to add RSS’s from sources that are not in the fediverse?
i.e. podcast, YT channels. If not, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Depends on your instance software (i.e. the software that is powering your instance). Friendica can do that I believe.
Yes. You can add RSS-Feeds with friendica. I do this with some feeds succsessfully.
Yep, it’s standard in friendica as far as I understand. I’ve done it with my friendica account.
I will check out Friendica, Thanks.
Yes. What reader are you using? I like commafeed. I need to donate or host myself… so good. Feels bad mooching
Subreddits or multireddits, substacks, wordpress, almost every news site, invidious (youtube), nitter (twitter), mastodon, try googling site name and rss if it doesn’t automatically detect it by putting the URL into subscribe
It’s the only way to use the internet for me lol
How do you get subreddit rss feeds?
Just add .rss after the subreddit.
Just paste the URL for the view you want (new, top, …) into your reader and it should find the matching feed automatically. Basically every view on Reddit has a feed.
Oh excellent, I was going to ask what RSS reader people use. Commafeed looks decent, I’ll try that.
Does anyone know of any general-purpose readers that support RSS and ActivityPub? (And now, Bluesky, Nostr, sigh…)
Ok, Is there another Lemmy server that could have that enabled?, or is it that Lemmy is not meant to do that function?
Lemmy is built upon ActivityPub, which is different from RSS.
IMHO it would make more sense to have a client application that connect to both Lemmy account(s) and RSS feed(s).
This way you could fetch RSS feeds even if the Lemmy server is unavailable, and wouldn’t have to re-subsribe to RSS feeds when migrating between Lemmy servers, since subscription would be kept independant.
Well, I was looking for a way to have both fediverse feeds and RSS feeds into one place, and not need commafeed anymore XD
Edit: Feedbro extensions are nice, no cloud shennanigans if your paranoid… thay way XD
