Backend: Ability to set feed fetch frequency #1896

I would love to use Newsblur to read some X/Twitter feeds like in the past. There are still Nitter instances around that would work, but if I use their RSS feeds, Newsblur gets shut out frequently because it hits their rate limits.

One thing I can not setup currently in Newsblur is the frequency of requests to the feeds. Ideally I could set up a SCHEDULE for a site, that says "pull every two hours at minute 17". Reason: If I want to see eight twitter feeds in short succession, I again hit a rate limit, but if I have specific minutes for pulls, I can schedule around.

By just having a mechanism where I could setup schedules for specific personal feeds, this would not be a specific "Twitter"/"Nitter" solution but might also come in handy for other services.

Thank you for your consideration,

That's a great idea. I'd implement this if I had unlimited time, but for now it'll get prioritized on the list. If anybody else has this request, please chime in. And feel free to post this on forum.newsblur.com as an idea, I'd like to see this upvoted!
