This worked, thank you!!

Does not yield the right results still

Yes that yields the same result. I get some results, but not any from Lemmy including the one I am looking for.

Not exactly. I want this to be a place where many users post their different feeds, so I can browse through them and subscribe to the ones I like. RSS is a great candidate for this.

You would need to use lemmy to publish the feed, right?

This does not address the searchability issue, or the complexity and cost of self hosting. I want less friction for the user who is only focused on publishing and does not care much to own their infrastructure.

I alluded in my post to why a blog would not work, but I will describe more clearly here:

• if this is done via blog, the searchability issue is not addressed. I want it possible to search through all of these feeds
• This creates large friction. I want it to be possible for the user to publish a feed without the complexity of hosting

While I love the idea, many RSS users may not use Lemmy, and I would not want to restrict the use of this to lemmy users only. But for now, this seems to be the best existing option. Thank you!

My issue with Friendica is it consumes more resources, making it much more expensive to host, especially at scale.

For that use case, there’s two things you can do:

1. Rent a seedbox
2. Have a local server for downloading torrents, and use a vpn

My torrent client is transmission. It has many ways to do what you ask.

First there’s a web ui which I can access from my pc or mobile. I can input the magnet link there and download.

Transmission also has an RPC client, and because of that many third party clients exist for it. Android apps, CLIs, etc. For all of which, i paste the magnet link and download.

EDIT: I believe Oracle cloud has something against P2P downloads, but I don’t remember what exactly.

I don’t quite understand the use case. Where are you trying to transfer from? PC? Smartphone (what kind?)? From devices you don’t control?

I use rsync to transfer from, PC, Android and other servers. It works well for my use case.

It’s sort of like creating your own hand-curated feed for other people to see

I am a bit confused, and have a feeling you replied to the wrong comment somehow?

A unified fediverse search service would be awesome, and its something I may try to tackle in the future. Part of why I’m asking this question here!

If I’m in, let’s say, memes@lemmy.world, I’d like to also have my feed show content from memes@fedia.io, or lemm.ee, or whatever other threadiverse instances that my chosen instance is federating with.

When you say “feed” you mean your general news feed?

What if I only liked memes from memes@fedia.com, and other meme communities were too normie or boring for me? You’re going back to the issue with big tech social media, where they push on you what you didn’t sign up for, and you don’t necessarily like it!

I’m not against a recommendation engine, but it needs to be a lot more intentional from the user, and more transparent. I really dislike the “were just gonna push content you didn’t ask for here, but we think you’ll like it!”. No user choice, no transparency.

Btw, you should look into Quiblr. It’s a lemmy client that does sort of what you want. It has a built in recommendation engine, and it watches your engagement metrics to determine what you’ll like more of. The only thing it may not have is recommending you communities that aren’t visible to your instance (because no one on your instance follows it).

Yes, I was speaking about what would be ideal, and not what is possible today in the fediverse.

A search service could solve this issue.

It’s available? Where and how? Lemmy doesn’t seem to have a solid search, although it does have something.

Which x86 SBC is that? I’m interested!
