That seems troublesome! Is there any way around it?

is the content usually links to the actual material ? we can use the raw text without the html i guess. each post also has a description. i'm a little confused on what info is actually useful.

I think it's often links to the material.

We could just use the title as the title, and leave the submission body empty, and put the original post link in the submission link space?

yea this is the simplest way.

i think i should make the bot general enough so it will cover more cases and maybe add dynamic configuration through raddle posts like the thread bot, cause sooner or later we will need another RSS feed, but this will take some time.

Cool.

Separately, I'm under the impression that when Postmill 2.0 comes out it may make break all the bots. Not sure if this is a relevant consideration for you.

yea Postmill 2.0 may break existing bots but it will have an API so it would be way easier to work with. From the little that we chatted with emma, the plan is for Postmill 2.0 to be as minimal as possbile and move other functionality/features to bots/services. In that spirit i will try to design Feedbot to be programmable through Raddle.
