Can't add RSS feed from URL directly on website but works fine on Android app

problem
1

I recently switched from Inoreader to Newsblur and I am happy with it so far except for this issue.

On Newsblur site, on the Add + Discover sites screen, if I try to add any RSS feed url directly, it shows some unrelated site suggestions. For example try adding “https://www.theverge.com/rss/index.xml”

The screen shows suggestions of tech sections of CNN, Engadget etc but not the contents of theverge xml URL I entered. The issue seems to affect only website though. On Newsblur Android app, when I enter the above feed URL, it shows the option to add that feed, followed by suggestions I see on website (CNN, Engadget etc..) which is the right way.

Please look into it. While I can work with Android app for now, adding multiple feeds is easier to do on website.

Oh interesting! This is due to a change I made to how the feed gets broken up. In this case, the keyword rss is pulled out from the url. That should definitely be fixed. I’ll get to this next week when I’m back from a retreat.
