No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
When you say you “downloaded the link” and “imported it into the app”, are you talking about an actual file? Adding a single link to an RSS reader is normally done by copying and pasting the URL of the feed, not by downloading the content of the feed itself.
There is a file type (whose name I forget) for storing and importing collections of RSS feed URLs, but that’s generally just used for moving your feed collection from one reader to another.
OPML?
Yeah, that’s the format. Thanks!
Sort of tangential. This is the one of the ideas behind the `` in the Atom spec (also commonly used in RSS feeds via XML namespaces). It means that if you have the RSS feed as a file and open it the reader can both import the items in that file, but also subscribe to the feed (if it has network access). It is nice when feeds have this, but I think few readers actually support this.
It seems to be downloaded as an XML file and not as an OPML.
When I try to copy the RSS link normally, it unfortunately won’t find it in the app (not in Feeeed nor in RSS mobile app - both on iOS)
EDIT: Thanks to you and another comment, managed to get it in the RSS-app!
Done by: opening the RSS-link, copy it and then just paste it in the search function of the RSS-app. I feel stupid for not trying this earlier.
