Made this mostly because I’ve found putting RSS feeds into Lemmy useful since my doom-scrolling has reduced to just Lemmy and figured I’m probably not the only person that’d find this useful.
It’s pulling 6 RSS feeds that provide free games for Steam, Gog, Epic, and Humble.
Nothing shockingly world-changing, but hey, free games.
Hell yeah man! Awesome, thank you!
I wonder what you think of using https://docs.freestuffbot.xyz/ as a source instead?
It’s nice. Just as a suggestion, consider adding itch.io too. There are lots of good and free games, too.
Added it, since it was an option. It uh, made a lot of posts, so you weren’t kidding about lots of free games.
Yeah, I probably wouldn’t have done that myself. I love browsing itch.io but I don’t want an otherwise useful feed to be clouded with a ton of lower quality/incomplete games.
Of course that’s not to say they’re all low quality or incomplete.
Yeah the first run backfill was noisy, but I’m inclined to leave it there unless it gets just way too loud. If it starts making the feed just noise and junk it’ll get yanked.
How do you add RSS feeds?
With a feeds client
It’s a bot from the programming.dev peeps: https://github.com/programming-dot-dev/rss-bot
Nice but there is a bug: The posts are shown as pure html
Yeah, I noticed that.
It’s on my to-do list for next week since I should have time to sort that out/file a bug if it’s something that’s not a configuration error.
