I hadn't looked at my feed subscriber stats in a while, turns out I had around 6,000 at the start of 2025 and I'm up to around 12,000 now - very healthy!

I use my own server-side tracking to count them - I look out for the user-agent from feed software like Feedly and pull the number out of it:

  Feedly/1.0 (+https://feedly.com/poller.html; 694 subscribers; )

Here's my code for that: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog/blob/main/feedst...
