@rhymes Could you please elaborate how do you create a crosspost from an RSS feed?
Say I have an article on Medium. Where do I get the RSS feed and what do I do next?

Medium RSS are generated by adding /feed at the end of your medium profile URL. For example, mine is https://lakatos.medium.com/feed.

After you have your RSS url from Medium, put that in your DEV settings, in the "Extensions" page, under the "Publishing to DEV Community from RSS" section. dev.to/settings/extensions

After you save the feed settings, it will fetch the feed, and your articles will show up as drafts in the DEV Dashboard.
