Hey Fediverse,
We’ve been working on something cool and wanted to share it with you. It’s a new project called Lemmy.link, and it’s all about making RSS feeds more accessible and useful on Lemmy.
We’ve noticed there’s been a lot of talk in various communities about people shifting back to traditional RSS aggregators like Feedly, TT-RSS, and Newsblur. It got us thinking: why not bring those RSS feeds directly to Lemmy instead?
That’s how Lemmy.link came to life. Right now, we have 10 communities collecting from over 30 RSS feeds, covering topics from World News and Technology to Business, plus some popular YouTube communities like News, Technology, and Explainers.
But we’re just getting started, and this is where you come in. We’d love your ideas for new communities or RSS feeds to include. There’s just one thing - to keep things running smoothly, we’re focusing on shared interests and staying away from personal communities with custom feeds.
Also, please note, for now, lemmy.link is closed for signups. You’ll need to subscribe from your current Lemmy instance. Once we’ve incorporated the upcoming 0.18.1 captcha update, we’ll take a fresh look at this.
So, take a tour of Lemmy.link and let us know what you think. We believe there’s huge potential for this project in the Fediverse and your input is a big part of that. Please provide any feedback on !meta@lemmy.link
Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve built so far with Lemmy.link.

Hmm that’s an impressive development! I’ll subscribe to your world news sub to give it a try. It’s heavy on UK sources and Al Jazeera, which is ok by me but what’s the makeup of your feed derived from? Can you share the method so others could do our own?
Their community link for World News if it saves you a click: !news_world@lemmy.link
Every community has their feeds listed in the sidebar. That is actually how the bot is controlled. It looks up communities, scrapes any RSS feeds in the sidebar and then posts any unseen links to the community.
