Launching WebSub Support

 FeedMail now supports WebSub!

WebSub is a standard for real-time updates on the web. Feeds that support WebSub will have updates delivered to your email within seconds! No action is required to take advantage of these faster updates.

For feed-owners WebSub means less resource usage as subscribers check for updates less often. If your feed doesn't yet support WebSub you should consider implementing it. It is easy and free!

WebSub powered updates are currently being rolled out slowly and will be expanded to more and more supporting feeds over the next couple of days. Updates to our FAQ and Feed Owner FAQ are also incoming to answer common questions. In the meantime if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment on this post or email your questions to our support team.

Update: As of WebSub is active for all feeds that support it.

DNS Outage

From 2024-08-26 19:46 to 2024-08-27 11:21 UTC FeedMail had an outage. Until 2024-06-26 20:34 FeedMail was completely down. For the remainder of the outage most emails not sent. It is expected that no feed updates were lost during this outage. Updates would only be lost if they were only present on the feed within the 50min of total outage. Most feeds ensure that updates are present for days so this would not be an issue. Notifications have been delayed and should be sent by 2024-08-27 12:31. This may take longer if your mail provider applies limits and FeedMail needs to retry delivery at a later time. Update : All delayed notifications have been sent successfully.

Thumbnail-only Mode

You can now configure your subscriptions to send in "Thumbnail Only" mode. This will include just the title and thumbnail in the body. This is especially useful for Digests where scanning thumbnails is faster than needing to skip over often uninteresting descriptions. Updates that don't have thumbnails will just show a title (like "No Content" mode). You can configure Thumbnail Only mode for any subscription on its settings page.

Digests Now Respect Category Filters

Due to an oversight category filters did not apply to digests. This has been corrected and future digests will be filtered by your selected categories. If you do not want this filtering to occur please update your filters to "Ignore selected categories" and deselect all categories to inactivate the filter.
