Research direction

Start by locating the Android app's Discover or subscription flow and compare it with the desktop web flow that accepts an HTTPS URL. Use https://github.com/bitnami/containers/commits/main.atom as the reproduction case; done means the Android app accepts a valid Atom URL instead of limiting users to Discover.

Description

enhancement
Clear and concise description of the problem

There is only "Discover" functionality on my Android Folo app and it does not accept an URL even if it is valid atom format.

Suggested solution

On desktop web, I can choose many options including https URL. It should be supported by the app.

Alternative

I tried to access Folo web using my mobile browser. But it always redirected to Play Store. At least will this be allowed?

Additional context

Reproducible URL: https://github.com/bitnami/containers/commits/main.atom
