migrating RSS from feedly to inoreader

why RSS?

RSS makes it simple to follow many sources of information without wasted work or excessive bandwidth.

why an online RSS reader?

I like to run most things locally, but I don’t always have good connectivity or bandwidth. My journey has been TinyTinyRSS¹ (run on my virtual server) -> feedly -> inoreader

Feedly has been rendering RSS feeds oddly lately. What is in the RSS feed is not what shows up in feedly. Hence the change.

why Inoreader?

I found Inoreader highly placed on many lists like AlternativeTo. I made an account and looked around; appeared to be reasonable.

OPML in/out should make the change frictionless.

the transition

export OPML from feedly

Feedly hides this function, which is sketch IMO.

import OPML to Inoreader

/slurp!

configure Inoreader

Inoreader is rendering the feeds that feedly was breaking. Win!

impressions of Inoreader

Inoreader has a limit of 150 feeds for the free version, and I am safely under that. It obeys feedly-style catch-up keyboard shortcuts which I greatly appreciate.
