I’ve a new page: River of News an rss reader for some of my favourite feeds.

I’ve been testing Scott Hanson’s plugin that pulls in a River of News from Feedland River Embed for FeedLand, for a while. It is now available on WordPress.org so easy to install. It pulls in news from a set of blogs on a Feedland server.

A river of news is:

River of News is a kind of RSS aggregator.#

Items are presented in reverse-chronologic order.#

Each item has a headline, short description, a link to the story, links to the website and feed it came from, a link to its enclosure if it has one, when it was published, when it appeared in the river. #

What is a River of News aggregator?

FeedLand is a web service for managing lists of feeds, sharing them with other users, both in and outside of FeedLand, and reading and sharing news. 

The goal of FeedLand is to make news a social thing, following the pattern of social media apps, but using open formats and protocols.

So FeedLand is feeds, news and people and software that connects it all together.

FeedLand: Getting started with FeedLand

Feedland was created by Dave Winer.

Updated version of FeedLand Docker Compose. It’s now possible to run FeedLand on a local machine on a private network.

I’ve now got Feedland running on my mac, despite a really sketchy idea of how docker works. Eventually I’d like to get it running on my pi again. Especially as I’ve a pi 5. But I really need to understand some more about hosting first.
