I made my own Discord bot for managing RSS feeds, called Discorss.<p>Discorss is open source, has AI summarization, automatic paywall skips, and can be entirely managed with slash commands. Best of all – self hosting is very cheap and trivial with Railway, so you can add your own customizations to how the RSS bot works.<p>I've been using a personal Discord server as my RSS hub – it's convenient and I can setup different channels for different newsfeeds (i.e. an HN channel for the frontpage).<p>I was using <a href="https://monitorss.xyz" rel="nofollow">https://monitorss.xyz</a> – but it's barely had any changes, and needing to manage the external UI has been annoying.<p>Website: <a href="https://discorss.fldr.zip/" rel="nofollow">https://discorss.fldr.zip/</a>

I wish it would be the other way around, RSS feeds -from- the walled garden of discord guilds ("servers"). I don't want to make a discord account and join 1000 different guilds just to see updates on some game or software project.

You can use an external provider like Neon<p>I feel old.<p>Depending and needing to learn two external services to deploy what should have a been a simple `docker-compose.yml` on localhost or on a VM seems cumbersome to say the least.
Oh... I got too excited by the headline.<p>Thing is, I have a RSS reader already. It's free and open source, isn't updated 8 times a week, works without access to your microphone and it would never try to sell me Nitro.<p>What I want (and what I thought this was), is to be able to convert certain discord channels into rss feeds.<p>To OP: If you want a self hosted feature complete rss aggregator, I recommend you try <a href="https://www.freshrss.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.freshrss.org/</a>
