Easy script to autogenerate an RSS feed for your site

Do you have a blog or update list or you post articles on different pages, and you customized your template instead of using those Django, Nunjucks or whatever, and would like to have RSS feed auto generated compatible with the mess of HTML you created?

This is a simple script for you to copy to your local folder and run and create an Atom Feed for your site, and it should be easy enough for any webmaster to use. All you have to do is fill 6 fields: Your feed title, your site url, the url of your blog/news/updates/whatever-you-want-to-create-a-feed-for, the element that wraps your entries, the element that wraps your entry titles, the element that wraps your entry dates.

Maybe you just have one page with your blog, but maybe you have a page for a journal, another for a microblog, another for your media consumption, and on your index and you have a div with updates you done in the site and also different pages for articles you wrote, you can list all of them... is each using different elements for entries? Not a problem, you can target all of them and the script will look for matches.

Going by another post, they even sent a C&D letter to some tool that bridged their posts to RSS.

From RSS to Atom

Crossposted from https://programming.dev/post/49958316

Contrary to the recurring claim that RSS and Atom are dead, most of the traffic to my personal website still comes from web feeds, even in 2026. Every time I publish a new post, I can see a good number of visitors arriving from feed readers. From the referrer data in my web server logs (which is not completely reliable but still offers some insight), the three largest sources of traffic to my website are web feeds, newsletters and search engines, in that order.

Tips for avoiding time-outs with Newsboat

Tips for avoiding time-outs with Newsboat

First, apparently #Newsboat always checks lines as they are placed in the file, so shuffling them helps not pinging the #RSS feeds from a same domain all at once. Some programs have shuffle features built in, like Sublime Text with Edit > Permute lines > Shuffle, so no need to do it manually.

Second, if using auto-reload, remember to set reload-time too, else Newsboat will keep cycling updating the feeds without breaks.

Third, if using a repeating next-unread ; open-in-browser macro, try not making it too long. Macros don't have a throttle feature (actually Newsboat generally doesn't), so commands in the macro will run as soon as they can. And by consequence, the more a macro repeats, the more likely anti-bot features are to trigger.

Fourth, leveraging feeds slower to respond with one of the few throttling functions from Newsboat, download-timeout, can help lowering the aggressiveness of the reader too. When reloading the feeds, download-timeout 90 for example should make Newsboat wait 90 seconds for a response of a given feed before giving up and going to the next, giving some space for anti-bot features to cool down.

Fifth, keep an eye for redundant feeds that aren't needed. The less you ping a domain without need, the better.

Hope those tips help. =)

RSS feeds for Egaite?

Egaite is a site announced some months ago as a Pixiv alternative that doesn't allow AI-generated images, and that had the release delayed due to using an underscoped server, and apparently some legal trouble with the name it would originally have.

It is now live, but skimming around the site, I see no RSS feeds, at most users linking their blogs and such. I also see no feeds on bridge sites.

So my question is, does it have any feeds, maybe which I may have missed?

Thanks in advance!

OCD in me just noticed #Newsboat seems to have a limit of 17 characters per #RSS feed when at the all in one query:All Unread Articles:unread = "yes" feed.

Since I use mainly it, yay for having to rewrite the names of a comically large number of feeds. 🥹

(Well, at least I was reworking my feeds anyways)

InsideStack - Platform for discovering Tech Content

Crossposted from https://thebrainbin.org/m/[email protected]/t/1374405

From the OP:

I have created InsideStack where you can search tech content from currently over 600 Tech Feeds from independent bloggers, Open Source Projects, small Tech Media Houses and Big Tech companies. I am purely following RSS/Atom Feeds and do not scrape the web.

My Goal is to provide a diverse Tech Feed with quality Content and also increase visibility of independent Tech experts which are putting a lot of effort into their blogs.

It is hosted on Hetzner. It has also semantic search (using Mistral Embedding) which is functioning very well.

I would appreciate your feedback. Also if you have any recommended Blogs/Feeds, I will add them very happily.

Also if it can be somehow integrated into Lemmy, I would be very happy to do so.

The original poster also asks for feedback, so I suggest doing so in the original post.

Newsboat's article-feed is a godsent

As I open articles in batch and either randomly or semi-randomly, I don't get to see where an article is coming from until it loads in the browser. But when it does, chances are the article's hidden somewhere, and the search function only finds the article, not its feed (unless you name the feed as its link).

That would be a problem as then if you find an article whose feed you no longer want, you get reminded to remove it, but have no easy way to track it down. Or, tangential to that and the main reason I sought a solution, Mbin feeds if malformed but still recognizable as RSS feeds become the feed for the landing page, meaning spam of a bunch of communities I want nothing with. 💩

And since some versions ago, a solution indeed came for Newsboat, where it added the article-feed function which when used within an opened article, takes you to its source feed, allowing you to get its link and remove it with your text editor of choice. And it can be tied in Newsboat's config to an internal macro or as a menu option.

Worst part was having to compile the program, but nothing out of this world and at least it works fine when not installed to the system (best option since I couldn't make a decent AppImage out of it).

Tip: Blacksky can generate RSS feeds for Bluesky accounts

Recently, someone made a fork of Bluesky the instance and made Blacksky.

Got curious if accounts would load in there, and upon testing, they do. But then tested further, and even a local RSS is generated, akin to Mbin and Misskey!

Testing for example one of the parallel accounts of Extra Fabulous (comic series - link), just had to copy the handle over to the Blacksky instance (resulting link), and add /rss at the end the same way one would do with Bluesky (resulting link).

Couldn't find any Blacksky profiles yet to test the opposite, but I'd imagine it'd work unless Bluesky actively tries to block the instance.

But alas, good news for redundancy or if someone prefers one service over the other! =D
