"For instance is there anything similar to RSS for gopher."
The best way is likely to write a bash script to construct an XML file with a page per channel.

'cURL' should be useful since it support gopher, although you will have to custom script it.

'Lynx' browser also handles gopher quite nicely and you should be able to use the -dump feature and parse what you want.

'sfeed' may also help: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/resolute/man1/sfeed_gopher.1.html

gopherfeed: Convert RSS or Atom feeds to gophermap files.

Debian / Ubuntu APT Package Manager
$ apt search gopher
$ apt-get install gophernicus bombadillo lynx curl kristall pygopherd sfeed

profit!

Lynx is great for browsing gopher and nntp.

Kristall is a graphical browser with gopher support.

Gophie browser:
"Gophie is the Open Source Gopher browser for Windows, macOS, Linux and many more operating systems with Java support. Gophie allows you to navigate the Gopherspace, read text, watch images and download files with the integrated download manager. If you don’t like what you see, then Gophie is also fully customisable!"

Don't forget the RFCs. Gopher has a well-documented standard.

    I wrote my own rss feed script for my phlog:
    git.wittamore.com/scripts/tree

    I use it for my phlog:
    gopher://spike.nagatha.fr:70/1

    I also obtain other rss feeds using this script:
    git.wittamore.com/scripts/tree

    which are listed here:
    gopher://spike.nagatha.fr:70/1

      @octade @GopherPete I recently added gophermap support to RSS feed reader Liferea. So most phlogs can be read like an RSS feed.

        Liferea is nice and simple. Used it for years. Unfortunately Debian is slow to update so I might not see the gopher functionality until the end of Bookworm support.
