Welcome! Here, you can easily subscribe to a variety of RSS news sources presented as Lemmy communities. We have two bot users posting content:

If you don't want paywalled content, you can block the paywall user. Or, if you don't want any of this, you can block both or the whole instance.

If you don't see a community for an RSS feed you would like to follow, create a post in !meta@ibbit.at or send me a DM. I'll post announcements to this community when new feeds get added, so subscribe if you want updates.

Available Communities

News & Journalism

Regional

Culture, Politics & Society

Nature and Environment

IT and Tech

Science and Technology

Ars Technica

Streams

Art & Entertainment

Gaming

In addition, you can add any RSS feed to any community which you moderate. Send a DM to rss@ibbit.at with any number of the following commands:

  • /add $rss_url $community@$instance - Add a new RSS feed
  • /delete $rss_url $community@$instance - Unlink an existing RSS feed from the community
  • /list $community@$instance - List all feeds for a community
  • /help - Show this help message

For example:

/add https://hackaday.com/blog/feed/ hackaday@ibbit.at

Welcome! Glad to have you with us. If you have questions or want a new feed added, you know what to do.

I'm about to veto someone from an RSS feed for MintPress News, because it is overt Russian propaganda. I don't even know if they plan to raise this counterargument, but they'd be will within their rights to say "Well but you host the New York Times and they lie all the time for Israel."

Without getting into a comparison of the two, I think there would be some validity to that if they did want to say that. If we just completely removed !nytimes@ibbit.at, would anyone be upset?

Can I has a community for oko.press?
Feed: https://oko.press/feed

It's Polish only. Some articles are account-walled (although not exactly paywalled)
Does such community fit here?

Looking at the xml, it seems that <category> contents could be used as tags, if the bot has such capability
