RSS feeds allow you to automatically import external content, such as podcasts, articles, videos, or links, into the Dashboard. To maintain a clean and efficient setup, ensure that only necessary feeds are active.

RSS Feed Requirements

For Podcasts:

Most professional podcast hosting platforms provide RSS feeds that meet global standards. You can use these without modification.

For Articles, Videos, and Links:

The feed must match our structured format to ensure correct display on user platforms.
If your feed does not meet the requirements, you may need to adjust it manually or use a third-party tool.
