With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I have no idea if it's possible or not, but some sort of service that allows for users who have the same RSS feeds be able to comment on things happening... sort of like magazines lol
I mean that's what a link aggregator is. HN and Lemmy are link aggregators.
Seems like the main difference would be you’re not sourcing links from other people, it’s links from specific places you’ve chosen
NewsBlur does this. Something like this that uses the fediverse would be interesting though!
should be fairly trivial to set up a bot that takes an RSS feed input and then posts the items to a fediverse community
that would require users to subscribe to the specific fediverse community instead of the source RSS feed though
in fact, I follow a Mastodon bot that does exactly this with Steam Deck release notes RSS feed and it works well!

This is a good idea!
I'm going to check out NewsBlur, it's a really interesting concept to me. Thanks!
... since it joins these users together like a karabiner, maybe we could use that as a name for this kind of thing... Maybe karbin or something?
