  Which RSS bot do you use? I was going to make one but if there already is one...

    for lemmy, its pretty straight forward with this bot

    https://github.com/programming-dot-dev/rss-bot

    for the 'bins, there doesnt exist a direct-to-mbin bot yet (i've been workin on it.. i suck at logins), in the meantime youd use a lemmy instance as intermediary:

    you setup a non-public, localized lemmy instance, have the bot configured for your needs to grab feeds into communities, then subscribe from your 'bin instance.

      Are you comfortable sending your work so far on the mbin bot? I did the same thing you did; I picked it up but then ran into the OAuth stuff and got confused. I actually have an RSS mbin bot that was going for a while that was based on just local database access, but working out the OAuth stuff seems like a better way and I'm happy to take another crack at it.

      @originalucifer is there an issue/branch/fork where bins support is happening? I'd like to help with that if I can.

        Yeah, I'd like to as well; I just messaged them asking about it.
