Just saw the notice<\/a> about the rss.chat example inboundRss for wordpress<\/a> . I must say I hadn’t thought about going that way. I had wondered about POSSE from WordPress to rss chat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently micro.blog<\/a> does a great job of posting items from my feed to mastodon and bluesky. I’ve also used FeedWordPress to pull rss feeds from one place to another.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Where inboundRSS differs is that it runs in a browser served from somewhere<\/em>. The notes suggest it could site on a server or be served via node locally. I guess a simple php script could work too? inboundRss also updates edited items in real time (a few seconds).<\/p>\n

I’ve run through the instructions<\/a>, I had a bit of difficulty getting my site id, but got that from the WordPress.com API console<\/a>\u00a0using GET\u00a0\/me\/sites\/<\/p>\n

Once I’d filled in the id and my demo.rss.chat<\/a> feed I run the file with php -S localhost:8081<\/code>\u00a0<\/p>\n

All I need today is do now is publish this post and it should also go onto my WordPress site. I’ll check that and then test editing here by adding a link…<\/p>\n

And it worked: Testing\u00a0inboundRSS<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve now made several edits and they are reflected on my site. I put the php snippet for the terminal in backticks, they stayed as backticks on demo.rss.chat but were converted to code tags on my site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I am now wondering what happens to edits on the WordPress side? If I added categories & tags? Enough for now though. Lots to think about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
