I like hacker news but have had trouble figuring out how to actually like...follow it. There is a shitty Android app. They don't have an RSS feed best I can tell. How does one actually consume it?
Hacker News has an RSS feed at https://news.ycombinator.com/rss. They have a tag in the main page to point to it but browsers don't really surface that anymore I guess?
They also have like different filtered feeds for things with like a certain number of votes or something, which I have seen people using.
Maybe that's what it is then. I don't see it on the main page and their FAQ didn't list it either.
Regardless, thanks for the link! I'll drop that into my RSS reader.
There's a Firefox addon to fix that. It's called RSSPreview, but besides providing previews it also adds a little button to the address bar on sites that have tags like that so you can find the feeds in the first place.
You could just use !hackernews@derp.foo
I know it's a bot driven community but somehow they actually pulled it off. Lemmy users are actually leaving comments and voting over there.
There's also !hackernews@lemmy.smeargle.fans but it seems like a less active version of the same thing
Do you have a link to the bot's account please? I've blocked it at some point, but don't know what it's called to unblock it
@haxor@derp.foo
