      Really? I tried a bunch of time and don’t see the appeal. I haven found any like category filtering so I can’t subscible to like just tech or whatever. I think I’m doing it wrong

        The goal is to treat the various sources as potential sources, just like you subscribe to communities here. Instead of subscribing to a tech community, you can subscribe to the various tech news sites that you enjoy.

        you are supposed to get the feeds from the sites you visit, and build a single feed from that. basically build one feed from the various communities you follow.

          I want a scrolling news crawler thing on my home assistance dashboard and getting a functional rss integration working with it has been more challenging than anything else I’ve done and I’ve automated a lot, put together an entire camera and alarm system together for my residence, made a little dopamine game that shows me my daily score for Todoist tasks I get done, etc, etc. I think it frustrates me so much because I thought it would be a fun side project to work on between more challenging pursuits while learning the system and it’s all that still persists.

          Edit: looks like this guide just came out a month ago, maybe it will help me get there. https://youtu.be/CK5tyvrt7pw
