Import RSS feeds?

[kr428]

Folks;
talking RSS again: Is there a (good, preferred, recommended) way to import content from external sources (like another blog, a social network site, ...) using RSS? My general idea would be to create some sort of logic that fetches articles coming in example from my Mastodon or Friendica profile, throw them into a folder, category, ... and make them available permanently via Bludit. Wonder whether I need to craft something by hand here but maybe someone already solved a similar problem...?
Thanks and best regards,
Kristian

Oh. Sure, of course, that would be great. What would be your idea...?

a RSS-auto-import addon would be super cool!

So ... how would this work, according to you?

You create an RSS feed to "subscribe" to. You assign it a category. And then the plugin fetches new items from the feed and creates posts with the date, title, and content of the RSS item, in the assigned category?

I think you are right.

1. Insert the interested RSS-url to the admin-Plugin
2. The plugin fetch the feeds, and insert the content (title and content) automatically to a specific category every X hours

I’ve used a similar setup before and found that using tools like IFTTT or Zapier works pretty well for automatically importing content from external sources like Mastodon into a site. It saves a lot of time compared to manually coding it. If you're looking for something more customizable, you could always write a script that fetches the RSS feeds and integrates them into your Bludit site. Just double-check that the external sources you're pulling from have public RSS feeds available, especially with platforms like Mastodon or Friendica. It’s definitely doable with the right setup!

I'm currently using Echofeed ( https://echofeed.app/ ) for the opposite direction to post Bludit content to Bluesky which works rather well. Using something like this to import Mastodon to Bludit would work for me as well, but I'm unsure how to handle Bludit for that. Which kind of API endpoint, integration, ... do you use to make IFTTT post to Bludit?

Thanks,
