New releases are a chance to talk about how a project is developing. I'm happy to make another post in a bigger community to get more feedback, but I wanted to check here first to see if this is something you might want to do [@PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat](https://ponder.cat/u/PhilipTheBucket) A potential process could be 1. User makes a request in !meta@ponder.cat, and tags the relevant mod 2. If the mod approves, they can tag the admin of this instance to turn the feed on There are also general communities that this could work for, such as [!opensource@programming.dev](https://programming.dev/c/opensource) or [!selfhosted@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted), but those communities are active and may see this as spam. It may help to crosspost the bot posts to them instead. Technical: - This [article](https://medium.com/@vilcins/rss-feeds-for-your-github-releases-tags-and-activity-cbda2c51373) had some information on creating feeds for GitHub. - There may be a similar option for the GitHub alternatives. - F-Droid would be cool, but [I don't think that's possible yet](https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/1641-rss-feed-for-f-droid) Potential issue: Repos with lots of pre-releases may feel like spam. Relevant issues [here](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/17052) and [here](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/4993). Those repos could be skipped. (sorry if this was already discussed)
!coding_blogs@rss.ponder.cat A selection of coding and tech related blogs. If you'd like me to add any, let me know.

I added feeds for some other good organizations. Give them a follow. Subscribe to them. Give them money so they can survive. **Grist** Grist is a nonprofit, independent media organization dedicated to highlighting climate solutions and uncovering environmental injustices. Since 1999, we have used the power of journalism to engage the public about the perils of the most existential threat we face. Now that three-quarters of Americans recognize that climate change is happening, we’ve shifted our focus to show that a just and sustainable future is within reach. !grist@rss.ponder.cat **Mother Jones** Mother Jones is a nonprofit, reader-supported newsroom founded in 1976 that reaches millions of people each month across our website, social media, videos, newsletter, and print magazine. Mother Jones is produced by the Center for Investigative Reporting, which also produces Reveal, the weekly investigative radio show and podcast. Our newsroom investigates the big stories that may be ignored or overlooked by other news outlets, including about democracy and voting rights, racial justice, reproductive rights, and food and agriculture. !motherjones@rss.ponder.cat **The Marshall Project** The Marshall Project is a nonpartisan, nonprofit news organization that seeks to create and sustain a sense of national urgency about the U.S. criminal justice system. We have an impact on the system through journalism, rendering it more fair, effective, transparent and humane. !themarshallproject@rss.ponder.cat
I made some communities that are fed from batches of YouTube streamer RSS feeds: * !econ_streams@rss.ponder.cat * !science_streams@rss.ponder.cat * !nerd_streams@rss.ponder.cat * !diy_streams@rss.ponder.cat I left them open for anyone to post videos that aren't in the RSS feeds. Since they're not flooded with content like some of the others, and not specific to one feed only, that seems like it should be fine. I'll also add or remove streams if anyone decides they have preferences about what streams should go into each category. I'm not sure how this will work. To be honest, it's just me testing an idea. I probably will open up the RSS bot soon to people giving the bot RSS URLs and the bot creating communities for them, so maybe these should be one community per channel, with people signing themselves up instead of me curating a list of channels. I want to try this way first, though. As always, let me know what you think.
Another RSS feed of high quality journalism. "When the founders of The Atlantic gathered in Boston in the spring of 1857, they wanted to create a magazine that would be indispensable for the kind of reader who was deeply engaged with the most consequential issues of the day. The men and women who created this magazine had an overarching, prophetic vision—they were fierce opponents of slavery—but they were also moved to overcome what they saw as the limits of partisanship, believing that the free exchange of ideas across ideological lines was crucial to the great American experiment. Their goal was to publish the most urgent essays, the most vital literature; they wanted to pursue truth and disrupt consensus without regard for party or clique." Subscribe: !theatlantic@rss.ponder.cat
"To expose abuses of power and betrayals of the public trust by government, business, and other institutions, using the moral force of investigative journalism to spur reform through the sustained spotlighting of wrongdoing." What could be better than that? Subscribe: !propublica@rss.ponder.cat
I'm trying to add news sources that aren't just a big bunch of different sites that all repackage the AP newswire. FP seems like serious global news. Subscribe: !foreignpolicy@rss.ponder.cat
