- justusthane 6y agoSo feedly tells you how many subscribers they have when they hit your feed. That's neat of them.
- jlelse 6y agoNot only Feedly does this. Most of those feed readers do it.
- avian 6y agoIn fact, Feedly was the only large centralized feed reader that didn't do subscriber count reporting via UA string for the longest time. They made you do a GET request on some API endpoint if you wanted to get your subscriber count. They implemented it some time back, but it's still kind of buggy - at least for my blog. Two or three different IPs periodically do a GET on my feed URL with the Feedly UA and they all report different subscriber counts.
