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 Book.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?
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 cutting 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 feeds, 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)
What URL are you adding?

Can you share the link you are using in your OP?
It should be similar to this, I believe: lemmy.ml/feeds/c/books.xml?sort=new

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.
