Feedbot manual

⁰⁸¹ January 26, 2019 -- (tmsr)

For Republicans: You've most probably arrived here via !1 help. Read below for a description of available bot commands.

For allcomers: you've reached the manual for feedbot, TMSR's new¹ RSS bot. For further details on all these words you don't know, read the logs, get in the WoT etc.

Available feedbot commands (prefixed by !1):

subscribe $url: subscribes the caller² to notifications from RSS feed identified by $url.
unsubscribe $url: the opposite of subscribe, it removes the caller from the list of recipients of $url.
list: replies to the caller with a list of his or her subscriptions, one per line; available only via PM.

For more questions, please contact the friendly maintainer in #spyked or #trilema, on Freenode.

The job was previously assigned to and diligently executed by deedbot.↩
I.e. the command issuer, identified by his or her IRC nickname, or more generally, GNS handle.

Note that when a command is issued in-channel, the "command issuer" and the subsequent recipient of RSS notifications is the channel. Thus, for example if you call
```
> !1 subscribe http://my-blog.xxx/feed/
```
in #trilema, the channel will become a subscriber to my-blog.xxx's RSS.

Also note that in particular for #trilema, the current policy is that only members in deedbot's L1 are allowed to subscribe/unsubscribe blogs to feedbot. This policy is not (for now) mechanically enforced, so expect to get negrated if you break it.↩
