Using Subreddits as RSS Feeds

FreshRSS and XPath

  • One user shared a link that helped with using FreshRSS and XPath, but they had to refer to W3 schools to understand XPath.
  • They mentioned that not many sites they visit lack RSS feeds: "there aren't a lot of sites that I visit that don't have RSS feeds."

Spotify

  • Another user suggested using the Spotify share link to create an RSS feed using FetchRSS: "You can use the Spotify share link to create RSS feed with: https://fetchrss.com/generator/generate."
  • This method is free for up to 5 links and some podcast websites also share their RSS feed URL.

Using an Unfamiliar Tool

  • A user shared a tool called Spodcast but admitted to not trying it: "Haven't tried it myself. Not easy for sure, but if you got access to a server it could be a good way of doing this."
  • They also mentioned the availability of content on anchor.fm: "i think some stuff is available via anchor.fm. try searching in-app."

Troubleshooting RSS Feeds

  • A user shared their experience with qbittorrent and RSS feed issues, which turned out to be due to their ISP blocking it: "my qbittorent also had problem with RSS feed, turn out because my ISP block it."
  • They provided a detailed solution for resolving RSS feed problems with Deluge and qbittorrent:
    • The problem was related to how cookies are handled by the applications.
    • They mentioned configuring Deluge from the desktop app and storing cookies for qbittorrent using the Tools->Manage Cookies option.

Additional Options

  • One user mentioned the limitations of automod and recommended asking on r/RequestABot for assistance in creating a bot for specific tasks: "If you're able to host and operate a bot you can try asking on r/RequestABot for someone to make you one."

Data Security Concerns

  • There was a question raised about the concern regarding securing data in transit or vulnerabilities in the data from the RSS feeds: "What's the concern? Securing data in transit or vulnerabilities in the data from the RSS?"
