Might be a stupid question actually however how do I import Lemmy’s RSS into an RSS-App?
I’m using “Feeed” RSS app on iOS. I downloaded the RSS-Feed link of for example Books.ml but when I try to import it into the app, it says “No data”
I have added an image of what, I mean.
Am I doing it wrong?
EDIT: This might be the wrong community, I have realized. But not sure which community, I should go to otherwise.
Can you share the link you are using in your OP?
It should be similar to this, I believe: https://lemmy.ml/feeds/c/books.xml?sort=new
I use the share functionality in mobile apps to simplify RSS adds to my reader. Open a feed in my browser > click share > choose my RSS app (Feeder) and the app loads the shared URL in its add feed section.
That works! I feel a little bit stupid for not trying to earlier hah. Thanks!
I opened the RSS link, copied it and pasted into the RSS-app search function and then it - found it.
And knowing is half the battle!
When you say you “downloaded the link” and “imported it into the app”, are you talking about an actual file? Adding a single link to an RSS reader is normally done by copying and pasting the URL of the feed, not by downloading the content of the feed itself.
There is a file type (whose name I forget) for storing and importing collections of RSS feed URLs, but that’s generally just used for moving your feed collection from one reader to another.

OPML?
Yeah, that’s the format. Thanks!
It seems to be downloaded as an XML file and not as an OPML.
When I try to copy the RSS link normally, it unfortunately won’t find it in the app (not in Feeeed nor in RSS mobile app - both on iOS)
EDIT: Thanks to you and another comment, managed to get it in the RSS-app!
Done by: opening the RSS-link, copy it and then just paste it in the search function of the RSS-app. I feel stupid for not trying this earlier.
What URL are you adding?
