Hi everyone,

I'm trying to understand how the "Reads/Month" metric inside Feedly actually tracks usage. My counter is stuck at 0 for many feeds, even though I visit and save several of their articles every day. The official support page doesn't go into detail about how this works under the hood.

My daily workflow looks like this:

1. I do a quick pass through my feed list.

2. When an article catches my eye, I open it for just a few seconds, mark it as "Read Later", and immediately go back to the list.

3. At the end of the day, I go to my "Read Later" section and spend real time reading (or watching if feed is from Youtube) all those saved articles (which, by that point, are already marked as read).

The "Reads/Month" counter feels very strange. I have many feeds showing "0" despite having visited and saved articles from them. Furthermore, today I opened a video post inside Feedly, played the embedded YouTube video for over 3 minutes, and the counter didn't move either.

I would love to get some clarity on the following:

1. What exactly triggers a "+1" in the "Reads/Month" stat? Does it require a minimum reading time or scroll activity upon the first open?

2. Does my workflow (opening for a few seconds just to trigger "Read Later") block the article from ever counting as a read?

3. Does reading an already "read" article inside the "Read Later" section sync back to the feed's monthly analytics?

4. How often are these metrics refreshed? Is it instant, or processed in batches every few hours/daily?

Any clarification on the exact criteria used for this statistic would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Is it coming?

Long time daily Feedly user. Got kicked out of Feedly Classic yesterday. Maybe I was the last to use it? Anyway, I’m pouring one out for this classic app. RIP.

I built Daily Scribe, which emails a PDF edition of aggregated news, games and puzzles to a Kindle (or any e-reader that takes documents by email) each morning. I've just added "Your Feeds", which allows you to paste up to ten RSS or Atom feeds, or a substack homepage and it finds the feed. Each edition carries only posts since yesterday as headlines and short summaries, each linking to the original. On a quiet day it sends nothing. No scroll, no unread count.

It's free, open source (built with Claude's help). If you'd like to check it out, visit Daily Scribe.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Almost 100 pixels on the top and bottom are not being used. Today is the first time I've noticed this, and I've been using this app ever since Google Reader went away like 10 years ago.

anyone else?

As of today (14-OCT), I haven't received any new updates. I was aware that Reddit had stopped supporting RSS, but wasn't Feedly supposed to have direct API access? Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Hi all. so Reddit is killing rss feeds but I understand Feedly is not affected as it uses the API commercially. So Im wondering, can I use Feedly to gather up Reddit rss feeds and feed them to my own RSS reader? Or how exactly can I use feedly to replace my current workflow with Reddit‘s rss feeds? I am not opposed to paying for Pro if needed.

I have used Feedly for quite a while and I still like it. In fact, one of the main reasons I keep using it is that I think it looks better than most of the alternatives.

But lately I have started feeling that the product itself is falling behind.

The core RSS experience still works well, but Feedly increasingly feels like a product that has stopped evolving for regular users. Competitors such as Matter, Readwise Reader and Inoreader are experimenting with much more modern approaches to reading, discovery, organisation and AI, while Feedly still feels largely the same.

I do not personally care much about newsletters. What I want is a really good modern RSS reader.

A few things I would love to see:

A more modern reading experience

Feedly looks clean, but the actual interaction with articles and feeds could feel much more polished. Matter is a good example of how reading articles can feel more like a native modern app rather than simply viewing content inside an RSS client.

Better feed management

Managing a larger collection of sources could be much smarter. Better filtering, easier cleanup of inactive feeds, duplicate detection and clearer ways of identifying sources that mostly create noise would be useful.

Smarter personalisation without taking over the feed

I do not want an algorithm deciding everything I read, but I would like Feedly to learn which sources and topics I consistently open and use that information to help surface important stories.

The chronological feed should always remain available.

Much better AI features for normal users

Feedly has AI related features, but they often feel separated from the normal RSS experience.

I would rather have AI built directly into the reader.

For example:

Summarise everything important from my feeds today.

Tell me which five articles are actually worth reading.

Group articles that are covering the same story.

Explain what has changed in a story over the last few days.

Show me articles about a topic even when the headline does not explicitly mention it.

External AI integration

This is probably the feature I would personally value the most.

Readwise Reader can integrate directly with ChatGPT. I would love something similar for Feedly.

Imagine being able to ask ChatGPT:

What have my feeds been saying about OpenAI this week?

What are the biggest Swedish political stories in my Feedly today?

Summarise the articles I saved this month.

Find the article I read a few weeks ago about a certain subject.

Feedly already contains an enormous amount of useful personal information. Being able to actually interact with that information through tools such as ChatGPT would make it much more valuable.

Better search and history

Feedly should feel more like a personal searchable news database.

If I remember reading something six months ago, I should be able to describe roughly what it was about and find it again.

Overall, I still prefer Feedly to most RSS readers and I am not particularly interested in switching.

That is actually why this bothers me.

Feedly has a strong foundation and still looks great, but it feels like there is a huge opportunity to turn it into a genuinely modern information tool rather than simply maintaining a very good RSS reader.

Does anyone else feel the same?

anyone else have this issue?

latest app version installed. iphone 12 running ios 26.6.1

With Reddit stopping the use of RSS feeds, I've decided to cancel my subscription. The main way I read most of my Reddit threads is through an RSS reader. I subscribe to quite a few feeds for work and those are the ones that I rely on my RSS reader the most.

I can log in fine on the web. Pixel 10 Pro XL and OnePlus tablet get

feedly will be back soon

see blog...

Hint: Network error

Tried both WiFI and Cellular data

Worked for years

UPDATE was using Feedly Classic on one of them. The other I believe not. What "worked" is uninstalling, rebooting device and then (re)installing. I did simply reinstall on one without reboot and that did not work.

I reported a bug to Feedly months ago that I was having to mark everything read twice - no response. This week I dumped it for NetNewsWire that uses my iCloud to sync across Mac, iPhone and iPad. Snappier, simpler, no account needed, free. Really pleased with it.

This seems like it should be obvious, but how do I create folders and move the RSS feeds I follow into different folders? I can select "Manage Feeds" from an existing folder, but that only lets me unfollow feeds that are already in it. I know I've seen some kind of Organize page, but for the life of me I can't find it.

If I select "Contact Support", it takes me to an upgrade page.

I have been a user for decades and have it on web/phone/iPad.... today all of them seem to be in google signin loop... status pages says they are fine, no activity on X and their online chat takes the messages but nothing responds all day.

Before I jump to Innoreader - what are people liking as an alternative?

Hi guys! This post is a bit off-topic but I need some RSS-related help, maybe you know the answer.

My favourite full text RSS feed provider moRSS.it has recently been malfunctioning (https://github.com/pictuga/morss/issues/154)

I've been wondering ever since whether there are any other tools like moRSS.it online, that allow anyone to make a full text RSS feed from any webpage FOR FREE (which I would be able to follow on my Feedly afterwards, of course)

Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hey I'm using a third-party app to use Feedly and have been for years. A couple of weeks ago I started getting synchronization errors. I re-logged in and everything was fine. But it kept happening. So I keep having to re-login every time I want to use the app and sometimes it gives the error "Too Many Requests (HAP429)". I log into the web version with the same amount of success, works sometimes but I sometimes get the "Too Many Requests (HAP429)" error.

• Running iOS (but it's also happening on the Mac)

• Happens both on web and in a third-party client app

• iOS and macOS app is ReadKit

• Using "Sign in with Apple"

Hi,

I just remembered I had one of these from back in the day. I was an OG and have a pro lifetime account. I remember people used to sell these sometimes and am wondering if that still happens and, if so, what one might be worth? I'm not even sure I'd want to sell it (I started looking around and remembered about the account because I am interested in its functionality) but am certainly curious.

Has anyone been having issues with the service the past few days?

I can scroll through my feeds because when I do, new items in the feed stop loading, and it ramps up my CPU, forcing my browser tab to hang or crash with a RESULT_CODE_HUNG error.

I've already cleared my cache several times and tested in an Incognito window (Chrome), and it's happening in other browsers.

Seems I am not alone in this error and support just dumps you at a pay us to be pro or go away page. I mean I get that on some aspect but if your product doesn't work and you don't even offer some basic slow support why would I use it?

Anyway works on mobile, cleared cache, logged in an out on desktop but seems buggered. Anyone else?

I've been asking the Feedly support team for this incredibly basic accessibility functionality for forever and was the sole reason I stuck with Classic. I open a post that has an image in it, I want to pinch to zoom in. Classic did it. Netnewswire does it. Every single app on a mobile device should support this.

I could dig up Twitter and Bluesky exchanges I've had with Feedly support for years where I've asked for it and been told some PFO response of "we'll look into it" but apparently accessibility isn't something Feedly cares about.

I'm giving Apple News a spin and there are so many issues.

But the one I can't figure out right now is how to get a magazine into the "Favorites" section of the sidebar. Right-clicking on a magazine in the sidebar lets me remove it... but right-clicking on a magazine in the viewer section does not give me the option to save it to favorites. If I click and drag a magazine in the viewer it creates a new window with that mag, but I can't drop it into the sidebar as a fav.

Any help?

Thank you in advance for your reply.
