Heyas, wondering if there’s an open sourced piece of software or the like, that could scrape media platforms for a specific topic. Platforms like YT, X, Lemmy, News Media, etc., perhaps using RSS? But, a program I can host on my server, that only I have access too, via webpage, CLI, whatever…
Thanks for any info…

Jumping in to ask if there’d be a good reason to use a stand alone feed reader instead of using the nextcloud “news” app?
I use tt-rss.

Freshrss is really great!
I would recommend miniflux a “minimalist and opinionated feed reader”. It is great on mobile and desktop and dead simple to set up and use.
