Comment on What's the ideal self hosted RSS setup?
pukeko@lemm.ee 4 months agoOk, let’s say you selfhost RSS Bridge at myselfhost.net:1234. Let’s say you want to follow a youtube channel, @fancyyoutuber, via RSS. Plug the channel into rss-bridge, and it outputs an RSS feed at myselfhost.net:1234/feed/youtube/fancyyoutuber/atom.xml (I totally made that link up). You plug that into your RSS reader of choice as the feed source, and, boom, the youtube channel is in your reader.

But I can do that without this software

Ok. This makes it trivial to do so since youtube RSS feeds are eithet nonexistent or unreliable.

They’re neither of those things. I use them every day already.

Congrats! My native youtube RSS feeds are mostly 404 or access forbidden, depending on the day, as are many others’.
