I will be declining my refund. Got way more use out of Apollo than any other app.

Every community has their feeds listed in the sidebar. That is actually how the bot is controlled. It looks up communities, scrapes any RSS feeds in the sidebar and then posts any unseen links to the community.
Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner next to your notifications. Make sure you are searching for "All". There appears to be some sort of bug where if you search for communities that it won't return anything. If you search "All" it'll find the community. Make sure to put in the actual name of the community you're wanting to find in this format: !community@server.url. You wan't to put in the actual community name, not the friendly name. In this example I'm searching for Youtube News (yt_news) on Lemmy.link.
I would absolutely love to see it! The biggest hurdle so far has been finding quality RSS feeds.
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll get them added to my todo list.
Apologize if I ran afoul of any code-of-conduct. Haven't used the cross-post before and I wasn't sure if it would work across instances.
This is fantastic! Thank you!! I'll work through the list and see what I can do.
Absolutely fair points and I already had the concern about being "fair and balanced". The feeds I've added so far are either diverse (Youtube News is a great example: it contains both CNN and Fox News YouTube feeds) or are generally considered neutral (AP News and Reuters).
When it comes to UFOs and religion I'd have no problem adding them, but would absolutely break those out into their own communities. If someone is super interested in UFOs then they are welcome to subscribe to the UFO community with like minded people. Ultimately I'm trying to keep the number of feeds per community fairly low and make sure they are on-topic.
All that said I think it's up to the community to upvote/downvote as they wish. That is really the power of link aggregators like Lemmy and Reddit. Crap gets downvoted into oblivion and the spicy nugs float to the top. Link aggregators do come with their own drawbacks (echo chambers and trolls to name two), but they are very powerful once you've found the right communities.
Thank you for the well wishes! Sorry it's not right for you, but I really appreciate the feedback to make sure I'm executing this properly.
I was able to get them all subscribed on my Beehaw account. You'd want to search for !yt_explainers@lemmy.link to find the community.
Since the posts are to my Lemmy.link server, all of the posts and comments will be on my server. The mod work will be on me to maintain.
You know what they say about great minds!
I initially went with Reuters, but their feed is a bunch of patting themselves on the back for breaking news. Maybe they have different feeds I can find. Did not think of AP, but I'll get that one added because I agree that both are better (more neutral, fact based) sources.

Many (if not most) new cars have their own cellular service built in. They spin this as being able to hotspot to your vehicle if you pay for data or being able to remote lock/start your vehicle with their app. However, the vehicle manufacturer has their own plan allowing them to relay back telemetry data regardless of whether you buy a data package.
