Ooh, this is very interesting. I'm a sucker for emulator progress reports, just a fascinating intersection of programming, graphics, and gaming. My personal RSS feeds right now (which I'd love to add lemmy discussion to) are:
https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/feeds/ https://pcsx2.net/blog/rss.xml https://www.libretro.com/index.php/feed/ https://blog.ryujinx.org/rss/ https://xenia.jp/feed.xml
I made [email protected] with all of those feeds. I'm not sure, but I think that will be more useful than breaking it out into a bunch of communities and letting people deal with them individually. Is that just as useful for you?
I'm inclined to agree! That's awesome, adding that to my following immediately.
This is awesome! I feel like you've really improved Lemmy with this. Be proud!
😁
and
Phys.org does what some of the others do, offer a massive menu of options for the RSS feeds. I picked out their top stories feed only, to cut down on spam. I don't want to have a huge list of bot-posted communities with no activity. Are there any of the specific ones that you want to have, besides the top headlines?
Awesome, thanks for creating the communities.
Top stories are fine for Phys. 👌
Have a great day, dude.
Hmm, Church and State... I much prefer having a separate RSS reader (FreshRSS in my case) for news, as I see it, and lemmy for more frivolous purposes. YMMV.
Same here. This seems valuable for anyone who would want Lemmy to be a first-class RSS reader. But I prefer to just use my RSS reader and add feeds to that.
I use a combination of RSS feeds provided by Lemmy and the ones provided by openrss.org, which has most if not all news sites nytimes, bbc, etc.
I think they can both be useful. Some people will prefer to have an RSS reader pulling the feeds from Lemmy communities, and some people will prefer to have Lemmy as their home base, so to speak, and like to be able to add updates from some RSS feeds to that.
Even better, you can then follow those communities as an RSS feed!
This is freaking awesome, can you combine several feeds into one community ?
It'd be easy to do. What did you want to have combined? I'm not sure it would be much better than people subscribing to multiple communities to combine different feeds together, but what were you thinking?
All related news feeds for example:
I don't think mirroring from Lemmy RSS to Lemmy is useful, though. Is that what you're talking about? Why not just subscribe to the different available communities?
I was talking about multiple RSS feeds, for example: ZDNET Linux + Phoronix auto-posted to one Lemmy community.
Oh, got it. That's a really good idea. Although I do think that the comment recommending fediverser.network may be a better way. You can avoid duplicate stories from multiple news sources, and cast a wider net without creating overwhelming spam, as well as integrating better with a flexible local community.
No idea, what I linked is a built-in feature of Lemmy (every community has an RSS feed) but you'd have to ask OP about how their custom communities are created
There seems to be a federating issue with programming.dev 🤔
Maybe an IPv6 issue? Can one of the admins see what the error is on their end when the communication with rss.ponder.cat is attempted?
If you could, I'd appreciate HackADay. I've found a community for it on lemmy.ml, but it only seems to have one post from a year ago.
Interesting idea!
As someone who has been using RSS readers multiple times per day since 2009, I like the idea of being able to have threaded conversations with you lot on the stuff I'm reading all day.
I like RSS but there's no way to sort through the actually interesting content vs. just literal ads (looking at you, TechRadar).
Crowd sourcing the content helps.
Yes. I want to avoid having it become spam, so I decided to be careful which RSS feeds I add to keep the human-to-bot ratio up.
I mean you can leverage the votes of Lemmy to drown out ads from otherwise-interesting sources.
Lemmy thunderdome community! All posts get fed in from RSS, but if they don't get upvoted by the time the time limit has passed, they get deleted!
I am joking, I think. It's an interesting idea though. I don't think relying on the algorithm to stem the tide of bot-posted content is a completely complete solution, since I have definitely seen bot-provided communities which annoyed me with the volume of 1-upvote posts which the bot was putting up. I am planning to try to limit the feeds available to those that have a respectable amount of human interaction.

Yeah. That's not what I said. I said it would help to filter ads from otherwise-interesting sources.
I understand now. I thought you meant something different by crowdsourcing. No worries.
