rss.ponder.cat is set up to mirror any RSS feed into a community. You can subscribe to the feed like any other community and you'll get every new story as a Lemmy post.

Check it out:

!nytimes@rss.ponder.cat

!bbc@rss.ponder.cat

!arstechnica_science@rss.ponder.cat

Leave a comment with any RSS feed and I'll create a community for it, and then you can have RSS in your Lemmy.

This is freaking awesome, can you combine several feeds into one community ?

No idea, what I linked is a built-in feature of Lemmy (every community has an RSS feed) but you'd have to ask OP about how their custom communities are created

It'd be easy to do. What did you want to have combined? I'm not sure it would be much better than people subscribing to multiple communities to combine different feeds together, but what were you thinking?

All related news feeds for example:

Linux
Gaming
Self Hosting

I don't think mirroring from Lemmy RSS to Lemmy is useful, though. Is that what you're talking about? Why not just subscribe to the different available communities?

I was talking about multiple RSS feeds, for example: ZDNET Linux + Phoronix auto-posted to one Lemmy community.

Oh, got it. That's a really good idea. Although I do think that the comment recommending fediverser.network may be a better way. You can avoid duplicate stories from multiple news sources, and cast a wider net without creating overwhelming spam, as well as integrating better with a flexible local community.
