Hey Fediverse,
We’ve been working on something cool and wanted to share it with you. It’s a new project called Lemmy.link, and it’s all about making RSS feeds more accessible and useful on Lemmy.
We’ve noticed there’s been a lot of talk in various communities about people shifting back to traditional RSS aggregators like Feedly, TT-RSS, and Newsblur. It got us thinking: why not bring those RSS feeds directly to Lemmy instead?
That’s how Lemmy.link came to life. Right now, we have 10 communities collecting from over 30 RSS feeds, covering topics from World News and Technology to Business, plus some popular YouTube communities like News, Technology, and Explainers.
But we’re just getting started, and this is where you come in. We’d love your ideas for new communities or RSS feeds to include. There’s just one thing - to keep things running smoothly, we’re focusing on shared interests and staying away from personal communities with custom feeds.
Also, please note, for now, lemmy.link is closed for signups. You’ll need to subscribe from your current Lemmy instance. Once we’ve incorporated the upcoming 0.18.1 captcha update, we’ll take a fresh look at this.
So, take a tour of Lemmy.link and let us know what you think. We believe there’s huge potential for this project in the Fediverse and your input is a big part of that. Please provide any feedback on [email protected]
Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy what we’ve built so far with Lemmy.link.

If your instance has not yet had someone subscribe, you may still need to search for the community before its viewable to you.
Links don’t work for me, I just get “Couldn’t find community” (I’m in Jerboa on Android).
I tried searching for ‘yt_explainers’, nothing comes up. Tried searching for lemmy.link, same. Tried searching for ‘explaines’, no results. Any tips? 😕
Try searching “[email protected]”
I have good luck usually by finding the original instance community html link and pasting into search, then waiting 15 seconds.
But getting the original html link is a little encumbersome.
FYI, kbin needs it without the !
Example: @space.
@space@lemmy.linkAhh that makes sense, been wondering the difference.
I’m on kbin.social and it doesn’t seem to working here even with the @.
Maybe lemmy.link hasn’t been federated with kbin yet? Not sure exactly how it all works as I’m still pretty new.
I am having a similar issue here at beehaw.org. I can’t see anything from @lemmy.link listed in the communities.
It takes time to federate the content after you subscribe
I have tried the search, for example [email protected] doesn’t return anything - but if I try @[email protected] or [email protected] I get the response not found. Maybe I need to wait longer for the search to query the remote instance @lemmy.link?
Problem with kbib is that they don’t differentiate between an @bob “magazine” and an @bob user if you do @[email protected]
I’m on kbin.social and it turns into a link
It seems to be working now.
When I search for @lemmy.link in magazines they all appear now, whereas before they didn’t.
