!bbc_rss@crust.piefed.social - BBC. This contains several feeds in one community, tagged with flair to distinguish between them - use PieFed's "membership" setting on the community to filter out the ones you don't want.

!aljazeera_rss@crust.piefed.social - Aljazeera only provides a single RSS feed so it's quite the mixed bag.

!rnz_rss@crust.piefed.social - RNZ, for a perspective from the edge of the world. Again, use flair to filter out.

!positive_rss@crust.piefed.social - positive news stories.

!long_reads_rss@crust.piefed.social - Axios, The Atlantic, etc. Has flair.

PieFed recently added RSS-ingestion functionality - this is not done with an external bot-script thing. If you have some good RSS feeds, make an account on crust.piefed.social and go for it.

You can block @feed_bot@crust.piefed.social if these kind of bots annoy you. All the rss feeds on that instance use the same account.

Someone could write a script to make every YouTube channel a community. It would be more handy than the current YouTube alert system that regularly fails to notify people of new videos from channels they asked to be notified about.

So you joke but there is a use there.

Haven't seen anyone pissed about this yet, but in case someone appears, lest we forget Ani.Social's issues with Lemmit.Online.

Oh great more bot spam on here.

Thanks for making the Fediverse a worse place Rimu
