minus-squareIniNew@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 years agoI have no idea if it’s possible or not, but some sort of service that allows for users who have the same RSS feeds be able to comment on things happening… sort of like magazines lol
minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoNewsBlur does this. Something like this that uses the fediverse would be interesting though!
minus-squarelackthought@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoshould be fairly trivial to set up a bot that takes an RSS feed input and then posts the items to a fediverse community that would require users to subscribe to the specific fediverse community instead of the source RSS feed though in fact, I follow a Mastodon bot that does exactly this with Steam Deck release notes RSS feed and it works well! @steamdeckupdate@hometech.social
