      Which RSS bot do you use? I was going to make one for my RSS feeds, 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.

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

          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.
