I created a community for a great humor RSS feed called Bits and Pieces. I then sent a message, from Mastodon, to @bot@rss.ponder.cat, and I added the following to the message as the only line in the message:

/add https://www.bitsandpieces.us/feed/ bits_and_pieces@rss.ponder.cat

But there was no response. Did I do it correctly?

    Not a problem. Here’s what I did: I made communities for all four of the feeds, and I switched to community names without underscores:

    I was using a convention before of matching the community name with the hostname part of the URL, just for consistency.

    I moved the community images that you made over to the new communities, and made you a mod for all of those communities in case you want to do anything.

    I’m a little bit unsure about adding Drudge Report, since some time back it was a huge vehicle for misinformation, but looking at it now, it weirdly enough seems completely fine. Unless some reason comes up to exclude it I don’t have a problem with it.

    You may have to switch your subscription for bits_and_pieces to the new name, and can you delete the communities with underscores?

    Thanks and how does that all sound?
