I wanted to integrate RSS feeds into my timeline on snac, so I hacked together a little bot that reads through a list of feed links, pulls the most recent items, and posts it to my instance (skipping any it's posted before). The intention is for the posts to only be visible on my local instance's timeline (thus, just visible to me). The bot is hooked to a private account that doesn't allow followers and all the posts are "unlisted", so hopefully I'm not spamming any other instances. However, I subscribe(?) to a relay, and I'm not certain how relays handle unlisted posts from private accounts.
