i want a cheap bots done quick clone for cohost, ultimately. but in the meantime, is there an easy way to have cohost pick up posts from an RSS feed? with that i could easily just have my bots crossposting from mastodon. i have no idea if that would be harder or easier than just making a cohost version of the bot!

also if anyone wants to just build CBDQ for cohost with the unsupported API i would use the heck out of it. but that feels like a big ask.

i assume the RSS thing is either harder than i assume or that capturing RSS feeds and using cohost as a feed reader isn't something the staff wants for some reason. (maybe a site culture thing, maybe a copyright thing, maybe a hosting bill cost thing, idk)

  1. it'd 100% be technically possible to build an RSS feed-to-cohost syndicator
  2. we probably wouldn't crack down on it unless someone decided to be like super obnoxious about it
