Problems with RSS output
Problems with RSS output
I run three BlueSky bots based on Perchance that rely on the rss feed outputing. Since I edited two of the generators today the feed stopped updating and is stuck in the "This is a placeholder. You may need to wait up to 5 minutes for the first actual generated result to arrive" message, for many hours now. The one generator I didn't edit is working fine with the feed. It never took hours for the feed to update after editing and saving the generator.
Is there any problems on the side of Perchance or Glitch?
Thank you.
Hi @dedaluslogic@lemmy.world sorry about that. I just fixed up the RSS feeds, and made them more future-proof and generally "robust" compared to the old glitch.me server. I am now also hosting them under a "proper" perchance subdomain (as suggested by @VioneT@lemmy.world a while ago):
https://rss-feeds.perchance.org/animal-sentenceJust change
animal-sentenceto your generator name. Note that the glitch server still exists, but now it simply redirects torss-feeds.perchance.org, so the glitch RSS feed URLs will continue to work.Let me know if there are any problems with this new server - since it's new, there may be some initial bugs to work through.
(btw, what approach did you use to create a bluesky bot with the RSS feeds? if it's easy enough for people without a lot of coding knowledge, i'd like to create a tutorial page for it, so it'd be handy if you could share a rough outline)
Hi @perchance@lemmy.world. Thank you for the fix!
It's very simple to set a bot in Bsky, thanks to the "AT protocol" technology they use. It's basically a page of javascript code that runs in Google Apps Script with triggers. With a detailed tutorial I think anyone can set it up. Let me know where I can send you the template code and the steps.
