Creating a rss feed only channel

Hi everybody, back to hubzilla after a long time!
I'm trying to create a channel which is populated only by rss feed from a certain website.
IIRC it is something that was doable at the time, but now, at least here on hub.hubzilla.de, I cannot do anymore.
Is some special app needed in the Hubzilla instance? Or something other I'm missing?
Thanks!!

In order to add a feed as a contact, this option must have been enabled on the Hub by the admin. Otherwise, the option to connect to feeds will not be available.
As far as I am aware, it is unfortunately not possible to use feeds for channel sources.

@Hubzilla Support Forum I'm making progresses!
I managed to find the "channel source" app, which let me add another channel or feed as content source. But the "feed" option is not working.
Do I need to add the rss feed as contact (I'm not able as of now)?

  Hi @Davide!

  Yes, I think so. Only connected channels can be used as channel sources.
