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.
FreshRSS is what I use and I can create my own feeds using X path, it’s kinda great but too much to explain. I wrote a blog about it.
