I’ve created an RSS Feed Bot that automates sharing news in Lemmy and Fediverse channels, helping to keep Fediverse users better informed. The bot is written in Python3 and can easily run via Docker Compose.

Hope you find it useful! 🚀

You need a human to see what is actually interesting and what will be interesting to most people.

I've seen communities where hundreds of posts are scrolling by, nobody cares. Because it's not interesting.

And do some comments / recap. I find annoying people just posting link without saying anything. IMHO lemmy is about people opinion not just sharing link.
If you want news links then rss reader, Google news, Flipboard or whatever are what should be used.

Not to say OP didn't do a good work. But Lemmy is better when you are not ending just clicking link to read articles.
So a suggestion would be at minimal to add an AI recap as post comment.

rss reader, Google news, Flipboard

Those do not have votes. That's the main feature of a link aggregator: to get crowdsourced voting on content.

I post a lot, a lot of those articles don't need any comments, usually the article preview is enough for the readers to get a gist of what is going to be discussed in the article.

Good stuff. You can also do the same by talking with bot@rss.ponder.cat, if you don't want to install something separate:
