Reader says a site has no feed
What to try when following a site's address answers that it publishes no feed.
Find the message Reader showed under the follow box, then try what its section says.
"Nothing at that address publishes an RSS or Atom feed"
The page you pasted neither is a feed nor points to one. Reader looks for the link a site puts in its pages to advertise its feed, and some sites leave it out.
- Look on the site for an RSS, Atom or Feed link, often in the footer, and paste that address instead.
- Try the site's home page rather than one article: the home page is where most sites advertise their feed.
- Try common addresses: the site followed by
/feed,/rss,/atom.xmlor/index.xml.
Some sites publish no feed at all. Reader can only follow RSS and Atom.
"That address could not be reached"
The site did not answer in time, or refused the request. Check the address opens in your browser, then try again in a moment.
"That is not an address this app can fetch"
Paste the whole address, starting with https:// or http://.
"You already follow that feed"
The feed is already in your sidebar under Feeds, possibly under a folder, under Pinned, or under Quiet at the bottom.
"Your plan follows … feeds"
You follow as many feeds as your plan allows. Unfollow one, or move up a plan.
