For publications I subscribe to, how do I get them in my RSS reader? (And if I can't yet do that, when will it be available?)


If you're talking about getting Substack publications into your RSS reader, you can add /feed to the end of the relevant URL and then add that into your reader (e.g. https://sinocism.com/feed).

For adding non-Substack publications into the Substack app via RSS, go to reader.substack.com (make sure you're logged in) and click on "Add RSS feed" in the left sidebar.


Thanks, I'm asking about the former.

Does that work even for paid subscriptions? I was thinking it would require some sort of separate URL.


I'm obviously not who you're replying to, but I exclusively read substack articles through RSS readers like inoreader - typically every article (both paid and unpaid) will show up in the feed; the paid articles are just paywalled after the title/image/short paragraph preview. Hope that helps.


Good to know, thanks! In that case, my question for the Substack folks is:

For Substack authors that I subscribe to, will you be making a full-content feed available? I'm quite happy with my current feed reader, and would just like to get my substack subscriptions in there like my other full-content subscriptions.


It would be ideal to have a "private" RSS feed for paid sub, I agree.

For now I use feedbin, which lets you subscribe to newsletters with a custom feedbin email. Other readers also do this.

The downside is that your substack login address has to be a feedbin address.
