Give the application a minute to fetch the feeds after clicking Subscribe. In some websites, the RSS feeds button isn't clearly visible. In that case, you can simply paste the website URL into the Subscribe dialog (step 3) and let TT-RSS automatically detect the RSS feeds on the page. You can try this now with the homepage of [[https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page|WikiNews]] As you can see in the image below, TT-RSS detected and added the Atom feed of !WikiNews to our list of feeds. {{attachment:WikiNews-feed.png|WikiNews feed added}} If you don't want to keep this feed, right click on the feed shown in the above image, select '''Edit feed''' and click '''Unsubscribe''' in the dialog box that appears. {{attachment:Unsubscribe.png|Unsubscribe from a feed}} ==== Importing your feeds from another feed reader ==== In your existing feed reader, find an option to ''Export'' your feeds to a file.
