The bot api got updated so updated my rss feed bot to V0.18 as well

It auto posts new things from rss feeds into communities. I currently have it set up in !godot@programming.dev !unity@programming.dev and !unreal_engine@programming.dev posting official news from the engines and some other people are using it as well (one having adapted it to post news from their city)

If you want to set it up and are having issues feel free to ask me about it.

In this update theres also some other things about the bot that have changed

  • Data is now pulled from a yaml file so its easier to deal with as opposed to digging through the javascript code in order to change stuff
  • Important values such as how long the bot will wait before checking for new posts have been parameterized
  • You can now post things that are in two rss feeds or in one rss feed but not another if you want to filter posts down a bit more
  • You can set a date cutoff for how long ago you want to backpost posts from
