Follow any web feed from Mastodon | RSS Parrot

Just mention @birb in a post to Mastodon with a link, and RSS Parrot will search the site for any kind of feed, convert that feed to an RSS output, and then launch a Mastodon account that automatically posts everything in that feed to the platform.

I'll admit, I didn't really see the value at first – wouldn't I prefer to get feeds sent to my feed reader? But then I found a "good news"Β site (Reasons to be Cheerful) and realised that I didn't want this stuff cluttering up my daily reading, but I wouldn't mind keeping an eye on what they produced. Enter RSS Parrot, and now I follow them on Mastodon. If I miss a post:Β oh well πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I can see myself doing this with plenty of other news sources, and sticking them into a list somewhere, to be honest. And maybe some YouTubers. I wonder if this could pull stuff directly out of Twitter and Threads... πŸ€”
