    I’m feeling like the newsbots are overwhelming the local feed

      They are, yes - I think this is a case where an algorithm is needed to display content, instead of the current options now. I will look into if there are some options to make the local thread a bit more readable.

    Hi, thanks for setting this up! I think something I would really enjoy would be a bot that summarizes the article and posts it as a comment in the Lemmy post. Sometimes you don’t want all the “fluff” that gets added to these articles; sometimes you’re over the limit on AJC articles and can’t read them at all 😑

    I’ve seen this happening in other communities - I could find which ones specifically if you’d like to talk to them to copy over their setup.

      Oooh, yeah, that is a good idea. I’ll enable a word limit. Some RSS feeds only post summaries, while others post the entire article. It’s a good idea to have a word limit in any case. Then after that, I can see if there are some practical options for summarization, which is a good idea!
