Imports & Shorts

Serial now supports imports from users' two most popular feed formats: OPML and YouTube's subscriptions.csv.

March 16, 2025

Notes

This release brings the first support for bulk importing feeds into Serial! There is still more progress to be made (namely, in bringing in categories when importing) but this should be a great first step for many users.

Features

Add support for importing subscriptions.csv files
- This is the format provided by Google when exporting your subscriptions via Google Takeout.
Add support for importing OPML files
- This is the most popular format used by RSS readers. If you follow YouTube channels in an RSS reader currently, this is likely the export format it provides.
Add experimental shorts filtering
