Hey Fediverse,

We’ve been working on something cool and wanted to share it with you. It’s a new project called Lemmy.link, and it’s all about making RSS feeds more accessible and useful on Lemmy.

We’ve noticed there’s been a lot of talk in various communities about people shifting back to traditional RSS aggregators like Feedly, TT-RSS, and Newsblur. It got us thinking: why not bring those RSS feeds directly to Lemmy instead?

That’s how Lemmy.link came to life. Right now, we have 10 communities collecting from over 30 RSS feeds, covering topics from World News and Technology to Business, plus some popular YouTube communities like News, Technology, and Explainers.

But we’re just getting started, and this is where you come in. We’d love your ideas for new communities or RSS feeds to include. There’s just one thing - to keep things running smoothly, we’re focusing on shared interests and staying away from personal communities with custom feeds.

Also, please note, for now, lemmy.link is closed for signups. You’ll need to subscribe from your current Lemmy instance. Once we’ve incorporated the upcoming 0.18.1 captcha update, we’ll take a fresh look at this.

So, take a tour of Lemmy.link and let us know what you think. We believe there’s huge potential for this project in the Fediverse and your input is a big part of that. Please provide any feedback on !meta@lemmy.link

Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve built so far with Lemmy.link.

      Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner next to your notifications. Make sure you are searching for “All”. There appears to be some sort of bug where if you search for communities that it won’t return anything. If you search “All” it’ll find the community. Make sure to put in the actual name of the community you’re wanting to find in this format: !community@server.url. You wan’t to put in the actual community name, not the friendly name. In this example I’m searching for Youtube News (yt_news) on Lemmy.link.
