Frequently Asked Questions

When are the feeds updated?

LeanNews retrieves news every 24 hours. We believe this approach helps you find quality content and prevents the binge reading of real-time news feeds. We set the expectation that you get interesting news in LeanNews without refreshing, doom scrolling, or news binging.

How do suggestions work?

The suggestions feature finds entries from sources that rarely publish. The idea is that authors who publish less often are typically writing more interesting, thoughtful pieces. This helps surface high-quality content you might otherwise miss in the flow of fast publisher.

Why do some entries have strange or wrong titles/date?

For websites without RSS feeds, LeanNews does its best to create the equivalent, but sometimes it cannot extract information perfectly. We encourage you to contact the website and ask them to publish an RSS feed with their content. This means more reach for them and easier work for everyone.

Why are news only updated every 24 hours?

LeanNews has a vocation to find you quality content and prevent the binge reading of real-time news feeds. That's why we think it's better to set the expectation that you get interesting news in LeanNews without constantly refreshing, doom scrolling, or engaging in news binging. Quality over immediacy.

Why aren't articles readable on the site?

Quality content requires time from the author. We don't intend to steal their work and deprive them of the most common internet revenue: advertisements. Instead, we want to help you not miss a bit from great authors.

If you are an author and want to discuss this point or explore potentially deeper integration with LeanNews, please reach out to us. We're always open to collaboration.
