By appending **?subscribe_to=SOME_URL** to your News app URL, you can launch the News app with a pre-filled URL, e.g.:
https://yourdomain.com/nextcloud/index.php/apps/news?subscribe_to=https://github.com/nextcloud/news/releases
### Database table grows too big
By default, Nextcloud News purges old news items above a certain threshold each time it fetches new news items. The maximum number of items per feed
that should be kept during the purging can be defined through the “Maximum read count per feed” setting in the admin UI or the `autoPurgeCount`
value in the config. (Note: The “Purge interval” (`autoPurgeMinimumInterval`) setting is ignored and does not have any effect.)
However, unread or starred items are exempt from the purging. If your users have subscribed to some high-volume feeds where a lot of items remain
unread, this can lead to an oversized news table over time. As a consequence, the database upgrade of the news app can take several hours, during which
Nextcloud cannot be used.
The command `occ news:updater:after-update [--purge-unread] [<purge-count>]` can be used to manually purge old news items across the instance. With
the `--purge-unread` option, unread items are also purged (starred items are still exempt). If `purge-count` is not specifid, the configured
`autoPurgeCount` is used.
The purge count only applies to the items that are purged. For example, when purging a feed that has 100 unread items, 100 starred read
items and 100 unstarred read items, using a `purge-count` of 50 would keep all unread and starred items and the latest 50 read items. Using
a `purge-count` of 50 along with `--purge-unread` would keep the all starred items plus the latest 50 from the set of unread and read items.
