[Question] Can I automatically cross-post to LW via RSS?

[lifelonglearner]

I have a short­form blog el­se­where, and I’d like to cross-post the con­tent of the posts to my per­sonal blog here. I have it set that each new post up­dates an RSS feed.

On LW2.0, Is there an easy way to do cross-post­ing, or do I need to go muck­ing about in the API?

Happy to set it up for you. We cur­rently don’t al­low it to hap­pen au­to­mat­i­cally be­cause of some abuse po­ten­tial, but I would be happy to set it up for you if you ping us on In­ter­com (and the same goes for any­one else who wants to ping us).

Thanks! I’m a lit­tle wor­ried about my own sig­nal-to-noise ra­tio for now, so I’ll do that later on if I feel my short-form qual­ity im­proves.

Meant for this to be a re­ply.

We can also set it up to only cross­post when you ap­ply a cer­tain tag. Most of the peo­ple who’ve set up cross­post­ing have set it up so that it cross­posts only when a cer­tain tag is ap­plied.

Ba­si­cally we can set up cross­post­ing for what­ever gen­er­ates a unique RSS feed.

I’d ac­tu­ally been in­tend­ing to mes­sage you about this. Glad you beat me to it—would love to see your stuff on here.
