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.
@ginerel@kbin.social @mozz@mbin.grits.dev
Yeah, I'd like to as well; I just messaged them asking about it.
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.
ha, i dont because were in the same place... was playing with awesomebot, but then started attempting to hack the pangora bot starting with the login first, but i got roadblocked at the login and havent really had time to sort it.
