Looking for a RSS feed bot

Looking for a bot which subscribes to RSS feeds and pushes messages to delta.
Is there already a solution out there?

I use deltabot@echedeylr.tk for rss feeds.

Hmm. This one does not seem to support RSS subscriptions:

> /sub https://delta.chat/feed.xml
< unknown command '/sub'

/help says:

➡️ Commands
/image5
/image
/compress
/web2image

🧩 Enabled Plugins
simplebot_instantview

Are you sure you used the bot deltabot@echedeylr.tk and not dcbot@echedeylr.tk?

you are using the wrong bot, it is deltabot@echedeylr.tk, btw the bot allows even filtering the feed, so imagine you want to subscribe to https://delta.chat/feed.xml but want only to receive the posts mentioning “iOS”:

/sub https://delta.chat/feed.xml iOS

Thanks darhma and adb! deltabot@echedeylr.tk works like a charm

looks like the deltabot@echedeylr.tk bot is now defunct. Sent it a message and got this bounce
