Can I keep my Feedly account?

Yes. Exporting OPML only makes a copy, so nothing changes on the original account. You can run both for a while before deciding.

Does read state transfer?

No. OPML carries only the subscription list and folder structure. Marking everything read once after importing is the practical approach.

They don't transfer — OPML does not cover them. Open and save anything you need before moving.

Run it again. Feeds are never registered twice, so repeating an import is safe.

Export one OPML file and import it. Nothing happens to the original account.

In Feedly, open Organize sources from the left menu and choose Export OPML. An OPML file is downloaded.

This only makes a copy of the subscription list — nothing is removed on the Feedly side, so you can run both in parallel and compare.

A list built over years accumulates dead feeds and duplicate entries for the same site. Importing as-is carries all of that across.

There is a tool here that shows the contents of an OPML file entirely in your browser. The file is never sent to a server.

Create an account, then import the OPML from Settings → Feeds.

Folder structure comes through as it is
A confirmation screen appears first, with duplicates and dead feeds unchecked by default
You can run the import again as many times as you like — feeds are never added twice

Read state, Read Later, anything kept on Boards, and rules configured in Feedly do not transfer. The OPML format has no field for them.

Marking everything read once after importing is the practical approach. Older articles are still on the original sites.

Feeds that have stopped updating are identified for you. The review screen under Settings → Feeds can mute or unsubscribe them in bulk.

If you brought a lot of subscriptions across, opening just the folders you actually read is an easier way to settle in.
