What are feeds?

Feeds are publicly available web links that publish fresh stories in machine-readable formats.

Where do I find feeds?

Africa Unfiltered is building a growing catalog of African news sources, with feeds organized by country, category, and source metadata.

You can also add your own RSS/XML feeds. Many news publishers expose RSS, XML, Atom, or JSON links for their latest content.

Look near a publisher footer, section page, or search results page for labels such as RSS or XML.

JSON support means a feed can also be a public API endpoint that returns article data.

Can I filter sources by country?

Yes. The reader can filter the shared source catalog by African country and by category. If a selected category has no sources for a country, that country is not shown for that category.

Choose All African countries to return to a continent-wide view.

How do I get started?

Registration is free. You can create an account and start adding sources right away.

You can also sign in using Google.
How do I use search?

Can I save articles?

Registered users can bookmark news items from the reader and come back to them later from Saved stories.

Bookmarks remain tied to your account, so your saved list follows you between devices.

Does Africa Unfiltered show audio or video from feeds?

Yes. When a public feed includes RSS enclosures, Media RSS metadata, podcast audio, direct video, or provider links such as YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Apple Music, or SoundCloud, Africa Unfiltered can label the story as audio or video and show the best available player, embed, thumbnail, or media link.

Publisher rights stay with the publisher. The article card points readers back to the original source.

Can I share an article with friends?

Every article includes sharing actions so you can quickly copy or send the title and link through the tools you already use.

How can I group similar feeds?

The shared feeds are categorized based on their content. Custom feeds can be assigned to the category that makes the most sense for your reading workflow.

Is there any cost to use this service?

No. Africa Unfiltered is free to use.

Other feed readers may limit how many feeds or categories you can create. We keep source discovery and reading straightforward so you can follow as many relevant sources as you need.

Is there a mobile app for this?

Not yet, but the site is mobile friendly. You can bookmark Africa Unfiltered or add it as a shortcut on your mobile device.

Future mobile apps should support the same account, source, and reading model as the web app.
