But the feed address can be accessed with browser. How do you subscribe to LowEndTalk?

    Here you go bud - https://lowendtalk.com/discussions/feed.rss

    (works for me on my FreshRSS instance)

    EDIT:
    Looks like you edited your post, you've got it. In your instance, on the left hand side there's a large, blue, rectangular button that says "subscription management"

    Click the “+” button next to “Subscriptions management”.

    Paste the URL in the “Feed URL” field.

    Click "Save"

    That's going to go out and fetch the latest X amount of articles you have set in your global configuration by default. That should be all the configuration necessary to resolve your issue.

    Will your re subscription still work?

    I'm not sure entirely what your asking, but I'm going to assume that you're talking about future updates? Are you asking if a post is made to the forum, if you'll see it in your FreshRSS timeline automatically? Or are you asking if you have to add the subscription each time you want it to update?

    I'm going to try and cover the bases for you either way with my answer here..

    Once you add the source to your FreshRSS, unless you manually delete it, it's not going anywhere.

    If your FreshRSS instance is set up properly (with accompanying cronjob) - depending on how often you have your instance set to check for new articles, for example we'll assume the default (1) hour. Every hour your freshrss instance will reach out to that Feed URL, parse that RSS file and report back any new posts since it last checked, automatically. The new posts will show up as "articles" on your timeline.

    The new security policy prevents FreshRSS from accessing feeds? @jbiloh

    @suut I am so sorry man, I totally forgot about me having to rig it together instead of using it like every other website's feed. It's been a long day and I completely overlooked that. The direct feed 403's (as you're probably well aware)

    What I did as a work around was set up a cronjob for every hour - I had a server curl a copy of the RSS feed to a local website, have a script to change permissions to the web user and have the source in my FreshRSS instance pointed to my local domain/feed.rss (which is the LowEndTalk's RSS feed)

    It's been working so well that I forgot I even had to tweak anything.

    So to break in down

    The cronjob:
    * 0-23 * * * curl https://lowendtalk.com/discussions/feed.rss > /var/www/html/rss/feed.rss >/dev/null 2>&1

    Change ownership
    chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/rss/feed.rss

    Add domain.com/rss/feed.rss to FreshRSS and you're set to go.

    Curl got Just a moment... page.
    Looks like it's still being blocked by cloudflare.

    No. This for subscribe to LowEndTalk offers and service transfers.

    https://github.com/ssddanbrown/rss is work. Rss can be sorted by posting time. This is a very useful feature.
