Rss.ponder.cat is shutting down in about a week (rss.ponder.cat)

The RSS-to-lemmy server a few of us have be appreciating will soon be shut down.

If anyone wants a side project, a leftist implementation of this project would be really cool.

So it turns out .cat is only for Catalonia. I didn’t know this, just thought it was a neat hostname. So… they finally caught me not being Catalan, and they’re taking my domain away.

It’s sad. I’m not really sure what I plan to do, but in about a week, rss.ponder.cat will be no more. Sorry gamers. No promises but one possibility would be to set up a replacement instance, and just send everyone a DM with links to be able to get their subscriptions via the new instance instead.

People are going to complain at me about having to block the new bots, too. Hooray! Well, life goes on.

The dedicated instance I think really makes sense. Users get the opportunity to subscribe to specific publications, managing the bots is easier because you can make them admins to the site, etc. People who do not want the bot spam can block the whole instance, or just the bot. I wonder which bot software he was using.

I looked around to see about the software and didn't find any info. I found one thread where someone asked and was not answered.

There was some bot interaction possible which I don't see as immediately possible with the repos I was looking at. Although it may be a "simple" matter of mashing ready made components together. But I think somewhat custom. Could try asking?
