RSS's outside the fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

Hello, Is it possible to add RSS's from sources that are not in the fediverse?

i.e. podcast, YT channels. If not, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Ok, Is there another Lemmy server that could have that enabled?, or is it that Lemmy is not meant to do that function?

Lemmy is built upon ActivityPub, which is different from RSS.

IMHO it would make more sense to have a client application that connect to both Lemmy account(s) and RSS feed(s).

This way you could fetch RSS feeds even if the Lemmy server is unavailable, and wouldn't have to re-subsribe to RSS feeds when migrating between Lemmy servers, since subscription would be kept independant.

Well, I was looking for a way to have both fediverse feeds and RSS feeds into one place, and not need commafeed anymore XD

Edit: Feedbro extensions are nice, no cloud shennanigans if your paranoid... thay way XD
