RSS to Telegram Bot
RSStT (RSS to Telegram) takes a feed URL and posts new entries to your channel automatically, with attention paid to formatting — images, titles and links come through cleanly rather than as raw feed dumps, which is a common complaint about simpler RSS bots. The public demo bot handles tens of thousands of subscriptions, and the project is open source if you would rather run your own instance for reliability or privacy.
It is a solid default for turning a blog, news source or any RSS-producing site into an auto-updating Telegram channel. Expect some setup time to fine-tune formatting per feed, and note that the public bot depends on a shared, volunteer-run service unless you self-host.
How to start
- Add @RSStT_Bot to your channel as admin
