Upvote RSS is a self-hosted project I've been working on that generates RSS feeds from social aggregation websites like Lemmy, Reddit, and Hacker News. You can subscribe to Lemmy communities, subreddits, and Hacker News while filtering to only the top posts. It will embed Reddit post media (videos, images, galleries), and you can optionally include parsed article content, AI-generated summaries, top comments, and more. Here are some of the features:

Supports Lemmy communities, subreddits, Hacker News, and more to come
Configurable filtering to dial in the right number of posts per day in your feed reader
Embedded post media: videos, galleries, images
Parsers to extract clean content and add featured images
AI article summaries
Estimated reading time, score, and permalinks to the original post
Top comments
NSFW filtering/blurring (Reddit only for now)
Custom Reddit domain
Light/dark mode for feed previews

Here's the GitHub link if you'd like to give it a spin:

And the preview website (not all options are available here):

Each of the platforms supported by this project exposes their own RSS feeds. Which is great!

My main motivation for creating this is that I prefer to interact with social aggregation websites in a low-volume way, so I let Upvote RSS surface only the most popular posts for those communities in my RSS reader of choice. I usually use the averagePostsPerDay filter so I can expect a certain amount of posts in my feeds per day; for popular communities that have hundreds of posts per day (news or whatever) I'll set it to something like 3 so that I see only the top 3 most upvoted posts per day.

On top of the score filtering, this project includes much more in the RSS than comes by default from these platforms:

Embedded post media: videos, galleries, images
Parsers to extract and embed article content and add featured images when the link is to a webpage
AI article summaries based on the parsed webpage content
Estimated reading time, score, and permalinks to the original post
Top comments (this is one of the features I find most useful)
