I just published a new @RSS_Bot Documentation!
It teaches you the basics of the bot. I'm still working on it and will add more content in the future! I hope this helps many people who didn't know how to get started with the bot ⚡️

Update for @RSS_Bot (formerly @ChannelbroBot)
Version: 2.6.6

- I rewrote the auto-instantview feature! This feature allows the bot to automatically create Telegram "Instant View" pages for nearly any website on the internet (even if their site desn't support Instant View!) Just use {{instantview}} or {{iv}} in your message format and enable link-preview!

Please note that this doesn't work with some websites. So please try it and only enable it after you've made sure that it works for your RSS Feed!
Also, please note that the Instant View link will be pretty long, so it's recommendd to use Markdown/HTML to make it a clickable Link!

Have fun!

Tl;dr: {{instantview}} and {{iv}} are working again! 🎉
