It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.

    I 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

      NewsBlur does this. Something like this that uses the fediverse would be interesting though!

        should 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!

        Seems like the main difference would be you’re not sourcing links from other people, it’s links from specific places you’ve chosen

      … 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?
