Migration
Leaving Feedly
Get your list out first. It takes about a minute, it costs nothing, and it works whether or not you ever come back here. The rest of this page is what the file contains, and where you can take it.
Export your subscriptions
Open feedly.com/i/opml while signed in, and download the file. It is called OPML — a plain list of the sites you follow, which every feed reader can read.
This works in the web app only. Feedly’s own documentation says the link “works only via the web app, not the mobile app”, so if you are on a phone, open a browser rather than the Feedly app. No paid plan is required.
Do this even if you are not going anywhere. A subscription list you cannot produce on demand is a list you do not own.
What that file carries, and what it quietly drops
Every reader is vague about this and it causes the same disappointment every time. OPML is a list of feeds and folders. It is not a backup of your reading.
Comes with you
- Your subscriptions — every feed you follow.
- Your folders, and which feed sits in which.
Stays behind
- Read and unread state. Everything arrives unread, wherever you go.
- Boards and Read Later articles — Feedly says so explicitly.
- Feedly AI Feeds and Reddit feeds, which its export leaves out.
- Annotations, highlights and notes.
The Boards, Read Later, AI Feeds and Reddit exclusions are Feedly’s own words, from their export documentation. If those matter to you, save them separately before you cancel anything.
Where you can take it
An OPML file opens the whole category. These four are the ones worth knowing about, and any of them will import that file:
- NetNewsWire — Free, open source, Mac and iOS only. If you live entirely in Apple's world and want to spend nothing, start here.
- Feedbin — $70/year. A sync service with a good web reader, and the one most third-party apps support first.
- Inoreader — Free tier, around $90/year for the full one. The most features of anything in this category, and a free tier with ads.
- Miniflux — Self-hosted, minimal, open source. If you already run a server, this is the least fuss.
And where we are
Lantery is a sync service with its own reader, built for people who use more than one kind of computer — a Mac at home and Windows or Linux at work, or a phone that is not the same brand as the laptop. It keeps one reading queue across all of them, and works inside the reader apps you already use.
It is not open to sign-ups yet. Accounts are invited by hand while the sync API is being proved against real exports. If you need a reader today, take the file to one of the four above — that is a straight answer, not modesty.
When it does open: import is one screen and one file, and it tells you what actually happened — how many feeds were added, how many you already had, and which ones failed with the reason. Export is free on every plan, forever, including after a subscription ends. That last sentence is in the terms, not only here.
