Can you have two instances of one module running independently from each other?

FruityBebbles

For context, I am using MMM-Carousel in “slides” mode.
I have one slide dedicated to the NFL, so I use the default newsfeed module to stream an rss feed of ESPN to that slide
BUT
I have another slide where it is dedicated to traffic maps/reports/travel times.

I was wondering if it were possible to use one module, twice?
Like, I want to use the newsfeed module, again, to broadcast traffic reports from my local news station (and not have NFL stats popping up lol.)
Is there anyway to ID two instances of the same module as something like,

{
module: "newsfeed1"
},
{
module: "newsfeed2"
}, 
etc

?? I know there is a MMM-RSS-FEED but that doesn’t run as smoothly as the default newsfeed module and I would really like to use the newsfeed to broadcast both the ESPN stuff and the traffic reports…
Is what Im thinking possible? annd if so, how can I get it done?

Take a look at this post. Maybe it can help you:

@FruityBebbles if the developer codes for mutliple instances, then yes, like u coded

if not, then like the other link, make copies of the module, change its name

@sdetweil @qu1que oh, thanks both of you… I didn’t realize it was as easy as that
Now, to tackle MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall (damn, this is proving to be more difficult than i imagined lol)

@FruityBebbles the voice based modules have a heck of a time… lots of tricky dependencies (which keep changing out from under the module as time goes by)
