Keep Your Discord Community Active Using RSS Feeds
There’s nothing worse than a silent Discord server.
If you’re running a community—whether it’s for a product, project, course, or niche interest—you know that activity fuels engagement. But expecting moderators or members to constantly post interesting content? That’s exhausting.
With RSS.app, you can keep your Discord server buzzing by automatically posting fresh content from your favorite sources. News, blog posts, product updates, social mentions—you name it. Set it once, and let the content roll in.
Why Active Content Keeps Communities Alive
Engagement is a loop: content sparks conversation, which creates connection, which brings people back. But when there’s no spark? Things go quiet fast.
Posting consistent, relevant updates helps:
- Break the ice in slower channels
- Keep your community informed and inspired
- Position your server as a go-to hub for your niche
And when it’s automated, it doesn’t burn out your mods or drain your time.
Step 1: Pick Your Content Sources
What do your members care about most?
- Tech or crypto news
- Product release notes
- Industry articles and explainers
- Social media trends
- Creator content from YouTube, X / Twitter, or Medium
Step 2: Create your Feeds
1. Grab the URLs or keywords for those sources, and head over to our RSS Generator.
2. Paste the link or term.
3. Click Generate, and then Save to my Feeds.
Step 3: Connect the Feed to Discord
- Locate and click on the Discord button in Feed Overview.
- Authorize RSS.app to post updates to your Discord server.
- Choose the channel where the bot will post updates.
Once connected, your Discord will start receiving fresh posts without you lifting a finger.
Tips for Maximum Engagement
- Use a dedicated #news or #updates channel to avoid cluttering general chat
- Tag roles like @everyone or @announcements sparingly to highlight important posts
- Mix in manual posts and discussion prompts to keep things feeling personal
- Monitor which sources spark the most replies or reactions and adjust accordingly
Turn Your Server Into a Content Hub
When your community knows they can come to your Discord and always find something interesting, they’ll keep coming back.
Whether you’re managing a creator fanbase, a DAO, a dev group, or a small business community, fresh content helps keep the momentum going. And with RSS.app, you can automate the entire pipeline.
