New episodes Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Any travel questions are welcome, they don’t have to be podcast-related

I’ve been traveling a long time and will try to answer you or at the very least point you in the right direction.

if anyone knows how I can automate lemmy posts from RSS feeds, I owe you a case of beer.

Idk about RSS feeds but Lemmy Schedule exists for scheduling posts. I keep meaning to try it out but haven’t yet.

thanks, I did check that out when the developer posted it and it’s definitely my backup if I can’t figure out how to sync my feed.

very cool that they built and shared that.

I’ve been able to automate most social media posts, so I’m assuming there is a way to do it with lemmy and I’m just not technically minded enough to know how yet.

Paging @PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat, who has created an entire Lemmy instance for this.

Yeah bo

Just send a DM to @bot@rss.ponder.cat with something like:

/add {rss_feed} bitofarambler@crazypeople.online

FYI, they also replied elsewhere in this thread, in case you haven’t seen their comment yet.

I appreciate it, he got back to my dm too and I’ve already added my RSS feed via his bot. if this works you definitely are owed a case of beer!

I had no clue where to start so I am amazed that someone has set up a simple feed infrastructure for know-nothings.

Haha, glad I could help make the connection, but PhilipTheBucket definitely deserves the beer, not me :)
