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…

    YouTube has RSS feeds you can access without scraping, but it’s per channel so if you follow a lot of channels you’ll be following a lot of RSS feeds.

    Lemmy also has RSS feeds for each community.

    Are you looking for a reader instead? A reader aggregates the feeds and displays them. Usually it keeps track of which items you’ve already read.
