This daemon manages its own configuration, and should be manipulated through canto-remote or a client, like canto-curses.

Plugins are packaged in <prefix>/canto/plugins (i.e. /usr/lib/canto/plugins) and can be enabled by copying them into your configuration directory (i.e. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/canto/plugins). Many of them have configuration in them, so you may want to open the files to make changes. Here are a few example plugins included with the canto-daemon source.

Add content to reddit items. Includes a sort reddit_score_sort that will automatically order items by upvotes.
An rsync based sync plugin. See header for configuration, can be used to sync with a remote server via SSH, or with another local filesystem (for NFS/sshfs/Dropbox/gdrive etc.)
Synchronize (most) content with inoreader.com, a service with support for RSS on the web as well as various mobile devices.
