talking RSS again: Is there a (good, preferred, recommended) way to import content from external sources (like another blog, a social network site, ...) using RSS? My general idea would be to create some sort of logic that fetches articles coming in example from my Mastodon or Friendica profile, throw them into a folder, category, ... and make them available permanently via Bludit. Wonder whether I need to craft something by hand here but maybe someone already solved a similar problem...?

So ... how would this work, according to you?

You create an RSS feed to "subscribe" to. You assign it a category. And then the plugin fetches new items from the feed and creates posts with the date, title, and content of the RSS item, in the assigned category?

It saves a lot of time compared to manually coding it. If you're looking for something more customizable, you could always write a script that fetches the RSS feeds and integrates them into your Bludit site. Just double-check that the external sources you're pulling from have public RSS feeds available, especially with platforms like Mastodon or Friendica. It’s definitely doable with the right setup!
