Your feeds, minus the platform

RSS was supposed to be the anti-algorithm: you choose sources, you get everything, in order. If your reader has grown AI layers, engagement features, and tiers between you and that simple deal, Miniflux is the way back — every feed, chronological, on an instance that works for you.

The situation, plainly

Feedly is a capable product that has evolved toward teams, AI assistants, and market-intelligence tiers — priced accordingly. If that’s what you need, keep it. But most personal RSS use is simpler: subscribe, read, done. Miniflux does exactly that, extremely fast, with tracker stripping and full-text fetching built in — and OPML means switching costs two minutes in either direction.

What you get instead

  • Every article from every feed, newest first — no ranking, no “featured”
  • OPML import: your whole Feedly subscription list in one file
  • Tracker stripping and image proxying by default
  • Full-text fetching for truncated feeds
  • YouTube channel subscriptions without a YouTube account
  • REST API for third-party mobile reader apps

The honest tradeoffs

  • Miniflux is deliberately minimalist — no magic sorting, no discovery engine, no social layer. If you want an algorithm to find you things, this is the wrong tool on purpose.
  • Feeds are functional data, not secrets — but they still live on your own access-controlled instance, not in an advertising pipeline.

Making the move

  1. Export OPML from Feedly. Settings → OPML export — one file with every subscription.
  2. Import in Miniflux. Feeds → Import → upload the OPML. Everything follows you, organized by category.
  3. Read. Web app on any device, or connect a third-party reader through the API.

Questions people ask

Does it have the mobile experience Feedly has?
The Miniflux web app is fast and works well on phones, and the REST API supports several third-party reader apps. It is plainer than Feedly — by design.
Can I leave just as easily?
Yes — OPML export is built in. The two-minute exit is a feature, and it’s why we’re comfortable telling you about it.

Feedly is a trademark of its owner and a product plenty of people are happy with. Miniflux is an independent open-source project. Gateholm is not affiliated with either; names are used only for comparison and migration compatibility.
