Question for the folks who have been going deep on RSS -- are there any services/software for merging multiple RSS feeds together? For example, what if I wanted to give someone a feed that contained my blog posts and my bluesky posts? I feel like some of us are going to end up with multiple feeds and sometimes it's annoying to try to follow someone in several different places.
Obviously there are ways to do this manually, but it would be neat if you could just tell a computer to do it for you.
Are there lightweight blogging platforms that are good at ingesting RSS and reposting from it? Or maybe I should just be looking at IFTTT style solutions....
Here's an example, generating posts in micro.blog from RSS feeds via IFTTT. This might be what I'm looking for.
So, you don't actually need to use IFTTT at all to get stuff into micro.blog. You can just give it RSS feeds and it will create new posts from them.
There is a bit of an expected catch here, which is that not all platforms that produce RSS do so in a way that is necessarily consistent or nice, and as a result, some feed sources may look completely unhinged depending on what they contain and how that interacts with the theme you're using in micro.blog.
There is an additional catch, potentially much more serious, which is that there's nothing in the imported posts that indicates where they're coming from, and it seems to strip out some stuff. As a result, if the post doesn't end up containing enough information to make sense of, you can't just click a link to view it in its original location. This is probably a dealbreaker for this particular workflow for me. Which is unfortunate because I'm currently experimenting with a lot of different feed-generating services, but I would really love to be able to just give folks one feed to look at if they prefer. "Please subscribe to my seven different blogs, socials, etc. if you want to see all my crap" feels shitty.
However, before dismissing it I do need to test out the Obsidian plugin for posting to it, because that's also Relevant to My Interests.
BTW though, micro.blog has some interesting anti-numbers ideology that some of yall would probably be into. However, I don't have a feel for their overall vibe, so I'm not necessarily endorsing them at this juncture.
