Feedly is blocked on bookmark-rss.woodland.cafe (403 forbidden) #8

Description

@untitaker

As of now, Feedly is blocked on the main instance of bookmark-rss. The main reason is abusive behavior of the software itself:

  • excessive amount of requests, no honoring of rate limits at all. 75% of requests from Feedly are 429.
  • gigantic amount of IP addresses used
  • fake user agents when rate limits kick in, pretending to be a browser

They have no documentation about how to report these kinds of issues, or what the expected behavior would be. Even AI companies are doing better than that. For example: Claude's crawler UA is well-documented and contains an email address.

Feedly being an otherwise shitty company also made the decision quite easy.

I recommend to switch to Inoreader or Feedbin which has almost none of these behaviors and fills a similar niche as Feedly.
