Upvote RSS

Upvote RSS generates customizable RSS feeds from popular social aggregation sites and code forges. It aggregates top posts from platforms like Reddit, Hacker News, Lemmy instances, Lobste.rs, PieFed, Mbin, and GitHub and produces enriched RSS output with media, parsed article content, and optional AI summaries.

Key Features

• Support for multiple platforms: Reddit, Hacker News, Lemmy instances, Lobste.rs, PieFed, Mbin, and GitHub
• Configurable filtering (score, threshold, average posts per day) to control feed volume and relevance
• Embedded media and parsed article content with featured image extraction and estimated reading time
• Optional AI-generated summaries with multiple provider support and configurable models/settings
• Include top comments with options to filter pinned moderator comments and limit number of comments
• NSFW handling for Reddit including filtering and media blurring
• Caching support: filesystem cache by default, with optional Redis and APCu acceleration
• Docker and Docker Compose friendly with environment-variable driven configuration

Use Cases

• Surface the most popular posts from a subreddit or community into a low-volume RSS feed for daily reading
• Monitor Hacker News, Lobste.rs, or GitHub repositories by topic/language via RSS in a feed reader or automation pipeline
• Produce enriched feeds that include article content, AI summaries, and top comments for research, curation, or newsletters

Limitations and Considerations

• Reddit integration requires creating and providing Reddit API credentials due to API access policies
• AI summaries depend on external LLM providers and configured models, which may incur usage costs and require provider credentials
• Some web article parsing may require additional parser services or a headless browser for JavaScript-heavy pages; caching and bind-mounting the cache directory is recommended to avoid repeated expensive processing

Upvote RSS is a practical tool for turning social aggregation and code hosting activity into curated, configurable RSS feeds. It is suited for personal readers, automation workflows, and lightweight content curation where control over volume and content enrichment is important.
