Import feed

Folks, unsure if I already asked this here (I most surely think so but fail to find the related post): Is there a preferred way for importing external (blog) content into a Hubzilla channel? I keep one or two smaller self-hosted blogs which I so far expose to ActivityPub via Friendica. Don't want to run a Hubzilla instance of my own for several reasons so using this as primary blog isn't really an option. Can I, say, import content coming from an RSS feed as "native posts" into my channel? Or maybe POST stuff to some web endpoint on the instance I live on to make that happen...?
Thanks and best regards,
Kristian

That's exactly what the channel source app is for:

You subscribe to the RSS feed the usual way. You activate the channel source app. In that app, you select the RSS feed as a source. And every post that comes in through RSS will automatically be shared on your channel.

I've actually done that myself with a blog until the author herself joined the Fediverse, and I no longer had to do it.
