Using Liferea
When Liferea starts for the first time it installs a localized feed list if available. If this is not the case for your locale you might want to provide one. To check if there is one for your country have a look into the “opml” subdirectory in the latest release tarball or GIT.
If you want to provide/update a localized feed list please follow these rules:
- Keep the English part of the default feed list
- Only add neutral content feeds (no sex, no ideologic politics, no illegal stuff)
- Provide good and short feed titles
- Provide HTML URLs for each feed.
