How do I add a feed?

Click Add feed in the tab bar, type the name of the site or paste its address into the Website search, and click Follow next to the result. Inoreader finds the site's feed and shows its latest articles before you follow it.

Follow a website

1. Click Add feed in the tab bar, or press a. The Website page opens.
2. Type the site's name or a subject, or paste the site's address or its feed's address. To search in one language only, pick it in the All languages menu at the end of the box.
3. Results appear as you type, each with the feed's followers, its articles per week and its latest articles. The title opens a preview of the feed.
4. Click Follow next to the one you want. The button changes to Following.
5. To file the feed in a folder, click Following and choose Add to folder. The same menu has Rename feed.

While you type, a dropdown under the box suggests matching feeds and topics. Pressing Enter opens a topic's page when the word you typed is a topic, such as nasa or space, and runs the full search otherwise. Clicking into the empty box lists your Recent searches, and your browser's Back and Forward buttons step through the searches and topics you opened. The video shows these steps on an earlier version of the page.

Find sites you don't know yet

While you type a word, matching topics show as chips under Topics and Related topics, and with nothing typed the page shows Explore topics, Popular sources for your country and More topics. Can I discover new sources in Inoreader? covers browsing a subject rather than a single site.

Other kinds of sources

The Add new list in the sidebar has the other things you can follow: Web feed, Track changes feed, Monitoring feed, Google News feed, Bluesky feed, Facebook page, Telegram channel, Newsletter feed and Podcast. See what types of sources you can follow. A YouTube channel or playlist is followed like a website, by its address. Choose Import feeds to bring an OPML file from another reader, and your folders come with it.

The browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge shows when the site you're reading has a feed and follows it with one click. When Inoreader can't find a feed for a site (Why can't Inoreader find a feed for a website?), a web feed (Pro) follows a page that has none.

Plans and limits

Websites, YouTube channels, Google News feeds and podcasts work on every plan. Free accounts can follow up to 150 RSS feeds and Pro up to 2,500. Web feeds, track changes feeds, monitoring feeds, newsletter feeds and the social feeds (Bluesky, Facebook, Telegram) are Pro. More about finding feeds is on Find feeds to follow.
