Idea: An instance that auto-posts RSS content to its own communities, so that users just have to upvote and comment (beehaw.org)

I think that the biggest issue with Reddit, Lemmy, link aggregators in general is someone has to post the links. I want people to determine the sorting of the links, I want the system to facilitate commenting and engagement, but if I have to use an RSS reader AND Lemmy to get news, I’ll just use the RSS reader.

So my idea is, an instance which has communities which themselves subscribe to RSS feeds which auto populate the community. People then can subscribe to this from their lemmy instances, cross post, upvote, etc. idk how rss feeds would be voted on or added, but it’s just a concept.

Any ideas? Interest?

Sounds like it would get filled up with overwhelming amounts of crap pretty quickly and on the server-side, refreshing a huge number of feeds would take a lot of resources.
