    So I am assuming that currently this feature is not available
    under laconica?

Yes, you're correct.

There are, as has been noted, quite a few external tools that do this. Twitterfeed is one of the best, and it's supported not only identica but all public laconica instances for a while.

However, there may be some value having the feature built-in; for private instances, for example, where external tools aren't welcome.

I don't think it makes sense as a core feature, though; the requirements of polling external RSS feeds would probably need an offline daemon.

A plugin would make a lot of sense, though.
