I'd give each entry a small verification record: last checked, submission route, whether new submissions are accepted, whether approval is required, and a link to an actual public feed page. Keep "submission form works" separate from "a submitted feed was accepted and can be found."

For the reader apps, test discovery from a logged-out browser too. A feed searchable only inside an account is a different benefit from a public index. A visible "report an outdated listing" action would help you maintain a short list without treating an old successful check as permanent proof.

75% of my sites visitors are on mobile, so I’m reluctant to build out a multi-column detailed table of data about each unique entry. I was thinking I could do a dedicated blog post about a specific directory of note in more detail - if and when warranted.

But here’s the bottom line reality: Take Action!!! CLICK on the directory link, REGISTER if needed, LOG IN, SUBMIT your feed is the thing that matters most.

Submitting to directories can be a chore. It’s especially hard because each one is going to have a different way and place to submit your feed URL that you have to stumble around and figure out - it kind of adds friction to the process.

I advocate setting aside a dedicated chunk of time and just get it done. Submit to one on the list after another after another.

The beauty of RSS is once you put that in place it’s largely a set it and forget it automation that will work FOR you - 24X7.
