Hey Fediverse,

We’ve been working on something cool and wanted to share it with you. It’s a new project called Lemmy.link, and it’s all about making RSS feeds more accessible and useful on Lemmy.

We’ve noticed there’s been a lot of talk in various communities about people shifting back to traditional RSS aggregators like Feedly, TT-RSS, and Newsblur. It got us thinking: why not bring those RSS feeds directly to Lemmy instead?

That’s how Lemmy.link came to life. Right now, we have 10 communities collecting from over 30 RSS feeds, covering topics from World News and Technology to Business, plus some popular YouTube communities like News, Technology, and Explainers.

But we’re just getting started, and this is where you come in. We’d love your ideas for new communities or RSS feeds to include. There’s just one thing - to keep things running smoothly, we’re focusing on shared interests and staying away from personal communities with custom feeds.

Also, please note, for now, lemmy.link is closed for signups. You’ll need to subscribe from your current Lemmy instance. Once we’ve incorporated the upcoming 0.18.1 captcha update, we’ll take a fresh look at this.

So, take a tour of Lemmy.link and let us know what you think. We believe there’s huge potential for this project in the Fediverse and your input is a big part of that. Please provide any feedback on [email protected]

Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve built so far with Lemmy.link.

      I figured it out!

      https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]

      This allows me to see the external community, but still within the Beehaw context, so I’m still logged in and can subscribe to the external community 😃👍

      So the formula (that works for me) is:

      https://beehaw.org/c/[[email protected]]

      Of course, I’m still on desktop, so not sure if this would work in one of the apps — I’ll test now 👌

      Found the solution here: https://lemmy.one/post/81779

      Update: The new link works in neither Connect or Jerboa, but [email protected] seems to work in Jerboa now, if properly wrapped in link markup.

      ~~Just tried again, this time on desktop, no dice 😔

      If I go to Search and type in ‘[email protected]’, I just get two comments (yours included) from this thread as a result. If I go to lemmy.link, I don’t have an account so can’t subscribe.~~___
