Hey Vcarl, I'll give this a shot. I do have some questions I would like to please ask:

• Would this channel be read-only?
• For Reddit sites, what kind of RSS feeds/posts would we want?
• How often should we refetch the latest feeds?
• How many posts per source would we display?

I've looked into third-party apps just in case, like RSS.app and ReadyBot.i;o however, both are limited in the free plan and would require an admin's Discord account for production to give permission to the Discord bot.

I think read-only, but with threads for discussing links shared.

Prior art for this is in reactiflux/feeds, which posts ~1-4 links from reddit once a day. For other sources, ~ any other link aggregators that would likely contain interesting content would be valuable here, list in the top message is an okay starting point but surely there are more.

I think frequency of refetch depends on the data source, daily makes sense for reddit but some might be better with more frequent refetch.

~ 10-20 links per day is probably a good soft cap
