What's in Feeder Discover?
Feeder Discover is built from what Feeder users follow. It lists 41,406 active feeds, each with its own page: feeds that posted in the past 30 days and that at least 3 Feeder users follow.
- 12 categories: Tech, Marketing, Business, News, Startups, Comics, Gaming, Food, Sports, Science, Design and Entertainment. More topic pages cover AI, Security, Programming, Apple, Android, Finance and Medicine, among others.
- Ranked by followers. Most topic pages start with a few feeds we picked, each with a note. Then come up to 500 feeds, most followed first. Only feeds that posted in the past 90 days make the list. In Tech, the most followed feed is TechCrunch, with 40,412 followers on Feeder.
- A page for every feed. It shows how many Feeder users follow the feed, its latest posts and its feed URL, with a Copy button for any RSS reader. If a feed has stopped posting, the page says so and points to similar feeds that still post.
- Four lists we put together: the best news, business news, tech and gaming RSS feeds.
- No account needed to browse. Select Follow now to add a feed to Feeder, or copy its URL into the reader you use.
What is an RSS directory?
An RSS directory is a website that lists RSS feeds, or the blogs and podcasts behind them, sorted by topic. Readers use it to discover feeds, and publishers use it to get found.
- Hand-picked directories, like ooh.directory and Ye Olde Blogroll, have an editor who checks every site.
- Submission directories, like Blogarama, let site owners add their own feed, then check it before it goes live.
- Directories built from data, like Feeder Discover, rank feeds by how many people follow them.
Many directories read each feed and show its newest posts or episodes, so you can see what you get before you follow it in your RSS reader.
How do I add my website to an RSS directory?
- Check your feed first. A directory rejects a broken feed. Run it through Feeder's RSS feed validator.
- Pick directories that fit. Hand-picked ones like ooh.directory and Ye Olde Blogroll want personal blogs that are still updated. Podcast Index, Apple Podcasts and Spotify want a podcast feed.
- Find the submit page. It's usually called Submit, Suggest or Add your blog. Kagi Small Web, blogs.hn and PersonalSit.es take a pull request on GitHub instead.
- Fill in the form: your feed URL, site name, a short description and a category.
- Wait for a review. Many directories check each listing by hand, so it can take a while.

Do RSS directories help SEO?
A listing can bring you readers who browse by topic, but don't expect it to lift your search rankings. Google's spam policies name "low-quality directory or bookmark site links" as an example of link spam. Choose a few directories that real readers use, and skip tools that submit your site to hundreds of directories at once.
How else can I find RSS feeds?
- Paste a site's address into your reader. In Feeder, select Add feed and paste the address of any site you like. Feeder finds its feed, or can make one when the site has none.
- Search by keyword. Type a topic into Feeder's Add feed to browse feeds about it.
- Start from a list. Try the most popular RSS feeds or our news feeds by topic.
Common questions
Does Google have an RSS directory?
No. Google News has an RSS feed for each of its topics and for any search, which you can use a bit like one. Google News RSS feeds lists them.
Which RSS directories have closed?
Several that older lists still recommend. Alltop is now a news site that ranks stories next to prediction markets, with nothing to submit a feed to. Bloggernity no longer loads, SpecificFeeds now redirects to follow.it, and the rssdirectory.com domain no longer leads to a website.
Is it free to list a feed in a directory?
Usually. Ye Olde Blogroll and Blogarama say submissions are free, and the lists on GitHub only need a pull request. Some directories, like OnTopList, charge for a faster review.
What is the difference between an RSS directory and an RSS reader?
A directory helps you discover feeds. A reader follows the feeds you choose and shows you every new post.
