Openvibe, the app that lets you follow open social networks like Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, and Nostr in one place, is expanding its capabilities. The platform now supports RSS feeds, enabling users to track updates from their favorite news sites and blogs alongside social media content.
With RSS (Really Simple Syndication), users can subscribe to automatic updates from websites, streamlining the process of keeping up with new articles or posts without juggling multiple apps. This move puts Openvibe in direct competition with content aggregators like Tapestry, Feeeed, and Surf.
CEO Matej Svancer revealed that RSS integration had been on the roadmap since Openvibe’s launch last year but was fast-tracked due to high user demand. The feature allows users to add RSS sources manually, follow suggested sites, or import OPML files from other readers. Soon, Openvibe plans to launch a leaderboard highlighting the most-followed feeds.

RSS content can be viewed in a dedicated feed, a combined home feed, or custom feeds. For a distraction-free experience, Openvibe offers an in-app reading mode, while “Performance Mode” minimizes image loading to conserve resources.
The RSS update has been tested by over 100 early users, who together added more than 4,000 feeds. It’s now available on both iOS and Android. While free for now, Openvibe plans to roll out a subscription model in the future. The company is backed by Czech Founders VC, Tensor Ventures, and Automattic, the parent of WordPress.com, Tumblr, and Beeper.
