Migration
Switch from Miniflux in five minutes.
Your feeds and folders come across intact, over the open OPML standard. No re-typing, no lock-in — and you can export the same way any time.
Export from Miniflux
In Miniflux, open your account settings and export your subscriptions as an OPML file — a small, standard file listing every feed you follow.
Create your free account
Sign up in seconds — no credit card. The free plan holds up to 500 feeds, so most Miniflux libraries move over without paying a cent.
Import the OPML file
Open Import and drop in the file you exported. SlashFeed recreates your feeds and folders — it handles Miniflux exports, odd encodings, and BOM markers.
Check your categories
Your folders become colour-coded categories. Reorder them by drag-and-drop and tweak anything you like — your organisation carries over intact.
Start reading
That's it. New entries collect in one clean, chronological reader — and you can export via OPML any time, so there's no lock-in.
FAQ
Switching from Miniflux
Can I import my Miniflux feeds into SlashFeed?
Yes. Export an OPML file from Miniflux, then import it into SlashFeed in one step. Your feeds and folders come across intact — the whole move takes about five minutes.
Is SlashFeed cheaper than Miniflux?
SlashFeed's free plan covers up to 500 feeds, and Pro is a flat $5/month with no higher-priced AI tier — the AI features work by connecting your own model via MCP.
Will I lose my data if I switch from Miniflux?
No. OPML import brings your subscriptions and folder structure over, and SlashFeed lets you export your feeds via OPML at any time, so you're never locked in.
What does SlashFeed do that Miniflux doesn't?
SlashFeed is private by design — no ad profiling — chronological rather than algorithmic, lets you bring your own AI via a personal MCP endpoint, speaks open standards (RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, Fever, Miniflux, OPML), and is planned to be open source.
