I’m trying to add a personalized RSS feed from Stratechery (http://stratechery.passport.online/feed/rss/\[some id]), but every time I add it I get an error. On iOS it fails immediately; on the desktop site it spins for a while and then gives me “There was a problem trying to add this site. Please try a different URL.” I’m able to use curl on the URL and get back 7500 lines of what looks like an RSS feed. Anything else I should try?

Can you DM me the actual url so I can test it? I have a feeling NewsBlur is being blocked.
Looks like it was being blocked during manual add. I made a pretty big change and now blocked feeds should work again! Go ahead and try adding it now, it should work instantly.
And thank you for reporting this! I just fixed it so all blocked feeds work again on manual add (the add site popover), which solves a ton of problems. Cloudflare was blocking AI bots, but because NewsBlur is a bot, it gets inadvertently blocked.
It’s working now, thanks!
