With Twitter being worse than ever, I can no longer pull local news and municipal events through Nitter’s RSS feature.
Since so many groups have stopped using RSS to deliver news, and have put all their eggs in the social media basket, it leaves a void that can’t be replaced by signing up to a dozen newsletters.
Do you guys have any other solutions for maybe scraping websites to generate RSS feeds or something like that?
I’m using FresshRSS. It has web scraping, but seems to require a lot of manual syntax entry, and seems to error out regardless.
For Lemmy (which doesn’t have a native RSS feed) I’m using Open RSS. It might be worth entering the sites you’re trying to access into that, and see if it can produce feeds for you.
Lemmy does have RSS feeds, just click the RSS icons in various places:
Holy crap! This is a game changer, thanks!
