I’ve got RSS-Bridge set up to pick up RSS feeds from Facebook pages now. I subscribe to them in Aperture and can read them in my a social reader e.g. Indigenous. That, combined with some Twitter feeds coming from Twitter Atom, is letting me keep up with what’s going on locally pretty well so far.
@neil ive totally been meaning to do this too. does it take much resource-wise to run rss bridge?
@edsu Great question actually - I installed it via YunoHost and haven't checked in to how much resource it is using yet.
It doesn't mention it in the requirements - https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/wiki/Requirements
Checking top on my server, its php process is using 0 cpu at the mo, and minimal memory.
As far as I can see, just provides you with a link to pull back the RSS feed, so resource use would depend how many you have and how often your reader is polling those links I would expect.
@edsu p.s. I just discovered it also works for facebook groups, which is super handy.
@neil thanks! Yeah I figured the number of things it is watching & the polling intervals are key.
@neil do you host your own Aperture? I actually hadn't seen that or Microsub before so thanks for that name drop.
@edsu I don't - but I was literally thinking about this today!
I was thinking about giving it a go and ultimately getting it added as an app to YunoHost, to make it simple for more people to self-host. It has a dependency on Watchtower so that would need doing too, I think.
Currently I use @aaronpk 's hosted https://aperture.p3k.io (Aaron is also the author of Aperture)
I believe that @jan@geekcompass.com might host his own Aperture.
