minus-squareIniNew@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoI have no idea if it’s possible or not, but some sort of service that allows for users who have the same RSS feeds be able to comment on things happening… sort of like magazines lol
minus-squarefederal_explorer@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI mean that’s what a link aggregator is basically. HN and Lemmy are link aggregators.
minus-squareIniNew@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSeems like the main difference would be you’re not sourcing links from other people, it’s links from specific places you’ve chosen
minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoNewsBlur does this. Something like this that uses the fediverse would be interesting though!
minus-squarelackthought@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoshould be fairly trivial to set up a bot that takes an RSS feed input and then posts the items to a fediverse community that would require users to subscribe to the specific fediverse community instead of the source RSS feed though in fact, I follow a Mastodon bot that does exactly this with Steam Deck release notes RSS feed and it works well! @steamdeckupdate@hometech.social
minus-squareIniNew@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI’m going to check out NewsBlur, it’s a really interesting concept to me. Thanks!
minus-squarekronicmage@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year ago… since it joins these users together like a karabiner, maybe we could use that as a name for this kind of thing… Maybe karbin or something?
