I’m kicking around a few feature requests.

One of them I’ve already created in github as it seems appropriate to mainline Lemmy, but a couple of others I think are more appropriate to third party development. Since I’m more a product management / sysadmin type and not much of a coder, I’m putting these in the aether in case they drum up some interest in those considering features for bots or other tooling.

First is YouTube aggregation - it doesn’t have to be limited to YT. I’m interested in the ability to automatically collect notifications from a list of channels (click that bell icon, baby) and generate a community post to link new videos.

Second is RSS aggregation. If a blog or magazine or news site has a feed, and if that feed should feature an entry matching keywords defined by a moderation team, generate a post to the community linking to that content.

If these capabilities exist already for Lemmy, even in a hackish way, please do let me know. Otherwise, these are things I am wishing for :)
