RSS feed commands

RSS automation checks selected websites and publishes new items to Discord channels. RSS commands are intended for server moderators and administrators, and they can be used from Discord or managed from the dashboard.

Quick reference

Command	Purpose
/rss add	Add a feed and destination channel
/rss search	Search the feed catalog
/rss list	Show configured feeds
/rss manage	Open interactive feed management
/rss enable	Turn feed publishing on
/rss disable	Pause feed publishing
/rss interval	Change the checking frequency
/rss test	Manually test a feed
/rss import	Import feeds from an OPML file
/rss export	Export the server's configured feeds
/rss info	View status, interval, limits, and recent activity
/rss stats	View feed statistics

Recommended setup

Use descriptive feed names and separate high-volume sources from important announcements. A focused channel structure makes automated messages easier to follow.

1. Add a source with /rss add or find one with /rss search.
2. Select a destination channel.
3. Run /rss test to verify delivery.
4. Review the source with /rss list or /rss manage.
5. Adjust the interval to match the source’s publishing frequency.

Adding a feed

Use /rss add and provide a feed URL and a text channel:

/rss add url:https://example.com/feed.xml channel:#rss-news

The destination must be a text channel that GalacTelecast can view and send messages in. Give each feed a recognizable name from the dashboard if you manage several sources from the same publisher.

Finding feeds

Use /rss search query:<term> to search the feed catalog. Search by publisher, topic, or game:

/rss search query:gaming news

Review the result before adding it so that your server receives the official source rather than a duplicate or low-quality mirror.

Reviewing and managing feeds

/rss list and /rss info provide a quick overview. /rss manage opens the interactive management menu, where you can review individual feeds, change their state, test them, or remove them.

Use /rss remove index:<number> when removing a feed by its position in the configured list. Confirm the index with /rss list first.

Scheduling and controls

Use /rss interval minutes:<number> to set the refresh interval. The supported range is 1 to 1,440 minutes. A shorter interval is useful for time-sensitive sources, while a longer interval is better for low-volume blogs.

Use /rss disable to pause publishing without deleting feed configuration. Use /rss enable to resume it.

Testing and statistics

Use /rss test url:<feed-url> to check whether a source can be read before adding it. Use /rss stats to review scan and publishing activity. These commands are useful when a source has stopped publishing or messages are not appearing.

If a test fails:

1. Confirm that the address is the feed URL, not only the website homepage.
2. Check that the source is publicly reachable.
3. Try the source again later if it is temporarily unavailable.
4. Confirm that GalacTelecast can send messages in the destination channel.

Importing and exporting feeds

Use /rss import when moving an existing collection from another RSS reader. After importing, review the list and assign sources to the channels your community already uses.

Use /rss export to create a portable copy of the configured feed list before reorganizing a server or moving feeds to another workspace.

Recommended channel organization

• #breaking-news for high-priority sources
• #gaming-news for gaming publications
• #patch-notes for release notes
• #community-updates for lower-volume sources

Keeping high-volume sources separate makes important announcements easier to find.

Dashboard alternative

The dashboard is useful when you need to review several feeds at once, change destination channels, organize sources, or inspect settings visually. Discord commands are best for quick additions, tests, and pauses.
