New posts are not picked up – how to debug? #27

Hello everyone, I'm using the hosted version of this bot, provided by t2bot.io.

I've invited the bot to a channel on my homeserver and subscribed to multiple feeds. The subscriptions are picked up correctly, and running !rss subscriptions gives the expected list of my subscribed feed.

However, there are never any messages from the bot about new feed items. Even though the feeds I've subscribed to, are regularly updated with new content, the bot does not post anything. I've waited for weeks now, so this is not about a little delay.

There are no errors anywhere, and since this is the hosted version from t2bot.io, I was wondering if there is any way to debug this at all?

Had the same issue and reached out to t2bot. You can't debug because it isn't your bot. They basically said it is their most popular bot and so it sometimes just doesn't work. After going through that with them I went through the process of self hosting my own Maubot and specifically this RSS plugin and it works great. So definitely an issue with demand that has nothing to do with the plugin itself.

Hi,

I have the same issue but all is self hosted. How can I debug?

Thanks

Just a heads up, for those coming here from Google, that t2bot.io uses another bot implementation now.

Where is the source code for the bot? The bot is custom for t2bot.io and can be found on GitHub.

From https://t2bot.io/rssbot/

A public instance of maubot/rss still in use today is @rss:envs.net for example (docs here) and is behaving better than t2bot (speaking from experience in multiple OpenStreetMap local communities).
