RDA is a free-to-read local news source with an RSS feed. They put up a lot of content. Some of it may be reused (GPB). I think they have 5 different feeds for different neighborhoods, and also use tags to categorize content.
Would this be a good addition? @michael@yall.theatl.social
All added, @DecaturNature - that and Saporta Report should be showing up with the news tomorrow.
Absolutely - that is a great idea, @DecaturNature@yall.theatl.social! Do you think we need separate Lemmy communities for each of the local news communities reported on Rough Draft?
I don’t have a strong opinion. The “news” community feed is a bit overwhelming to follow…so I could see the value of segregating the posts into separate communities. But on the flip side, that means there would be a bunch of news-bot communities that would be filling up the community list and obscuring the organic communities. It would be nice if there was some way to separate the communities into groups. That’s a general feature I’d like to see in Mastodon and Lemmy – better controls allowing inclusion/exclusion of posts based on a combination of criteria.
@DecaturNature@yall.theatl.social - could copy/paste the URL feeds for Rough Draft? I tried to find them this morning, but wasn’t able to do so on my first try.
I get an XML doc here: https://roughdraftatlanta.com/rss
It includes a few paragraphs plus metadata for each story
Perfect - thank you! I guess that URL was sort of obvious 🙃
