keyosc is the replacement forum for WATMM (We Are The Music Makers). Could we get these pulled in, please? Community name would just be keyosc

Also it would be really cool if a prefix could be added to the title of each post signifying the source RSS feed, like [Aphex Twin] or [Squarepusher], or a link to the source RSS feed in the body text of the post so you know where it came from.

Also if the sidebar could say something like "crosspost to !idm@lemm.ee "

If you could make me a moderator I can add the RSS feeds myself. I just think it's appropriate for the community to be on this instance.

Hm. I set it up: !keyosc@rss.ponder.cat

However, I'm a little unsure about it from a spam perspective. It kind of looks like maybe we'll be getting quite a lot of postings from this with all of these forums added. I've been trying to avoid having any of these "replicate a different non-Lemmy forum over in Lemmy instead" bots just because they tend to have a pretty low signal-to-noise ratio.

How do you feel about just interacting with the bot, and having it post direct to the !idm@lemm.ee community so you can keep this stuff curated to a useful set of feeds? I can probably make some reformatting edits if you want. I added the direct link to the RSS feed each one was pulled from which I think is a good addition.

I haven't decided for sure, I wanted to see how it looks in practice, but I'm pretty concerned about the spam level just looking at it a little bit.

I think the spam will cooldown, it's a brand new forum replacing an old forum that just shut down.

Although we should remove

What do you think about copying the <description> field into the body of the Lemmy post? It could save some clicks of opening the posts and maybe be a bit more inviting?

Hm. I looked at it a little bit just now. I think putting content in the post body is the right thing to do. There are a couple different fields that can go there, and different feeds seem to sort of do various random things depending on how they feel like formatting their feeds, but it seems pretty common that description is duplicative with the description that Lemmy auto-fetches which looks a little weird.

I also think you're right, the post volume now that the initial bump is over isn't overly excessive. Let's try it on rss.ponder.cat, since I do think the auto-posting community is probably something that's sensible to separate in some way from the human-posted-on-Lemmy community. I might change my mind later but that's my feeling right now.

Can you post something to !keyosc@rss.ponder.cat and then I can then make you a moderator and you can directly make the changes to the feeds via the bot?

thanks! citing the source for each post is a good addition
