FreshRSS - Not too big on RSS, but for me it does the job. Also, If I understood correctly there is an Open API so you can use another Client with FreshRSS Back End
Another vote for FreshRSS. It's a self hosted solution. I'm a bit of a data hoarder so mine is set to never purge articles, and edits are treated as new articles.
Clients I use:
I’ve been so happy with rediscovering rss via FreshRSS and NetNewsWire that I’m chiming in on old threads. That is all. 🤙🏻
FreshRSS is amazing. Super powerful. I used to use tt-rss but it was unstable, limited in its clients (API emulation) and a very hostile developer.
This looks interesting, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a whirl.
I'm using the opinionated and self-hosted reader Miniflux in combination with a browser plugin for Chrome. This way I see the amount of unread RSS items and I can either click them to open them or just mark them as read. Not sure if it's for everyone, but I like it a lot :) Just figured it should get a mention here.
Another vote for Miniflux. If you like a Reader-type interface, check out reminiflux (it's just an alternative frontend).
miniflux is great. If you don't want to self host, the developer offers a hosted version that is very reasonably priced and I like to think it contributes to the development of the software.
This with the matrix integration works great for me.
Nextcloud News, if you already have Nextcloud set up. There's also an Android app for it that connects to the server.
^ This. The Android app is quite nice. For iOS readers, you should use netnewswire
FreshRSS is ugly and sometimes clunky but seems to be unparalleled for features and support (Reeder + Netnewswire for clients) as far as selfhosted options go
This is how I ended up on FreshRSS. It's not my favourite looking thing or anything, but it seems to work the best (especially in terms of supporting mobile apps). I wish it was more tag centric, though. It's kind of clunky having to make single categories for everything.
I love Reeder for iOS. For service I’ve been using Feedly since the beginning so I’ve stuck with them. But these days there is probably better (and cheaper) options.
I've been running tiny tiny rss (aka ttrss) on a vps for well over 10 years. It's been rock solid through many upgrades. It's got a great web interface & android app. There's a decent sized community for it. The only drawback is that primary dev (fox) does not tolerate (what he conciders) dumb questions. The new docker compose deployment is brain-dead simple.
I've been using Feedbro (Firefox plugin) for a while and it does the job.
Also my recomendation if you don't need anything fancy.
I like the integration into the broser a lot: Instead of switching between the reader and the browser, i just switch between browser tabs.
The only weird thing with this addon is the company that makes it. They put a lot of work into their browser addons without any obvious way of monetarisation. i can not explain to myself how they make money.
So maybee don't use it if you are on some three letter agency's naughty list ;)
I was using feedbro until I noticed some bots started hitting my freshrss url that is not public. Switched to yarr for desktop and feeder for mobile.
TT-RSS tiny tiny RSS, it also has a good Android app
I use the Miniflux standalone podcast reader with Wallabag and submit selected articles to Wallabag for later reading. I also use the Newsboat CLI client which can sync with Miniflux installations as an alternative to the web interface it's comfortable.
I like feedly
I'm a fan of Inoreader.
Feeder on F-droid
I use Liferea, which
Oh man I haven't heard of Liferea in years!
Seconding Liferea.
Have you looked at Inoreader?
I set this up and like the UI but it does that stuff where it says things like "Hey you have duplicates do you want to remove them? Oops sorry you gotta pay for that" and "Hey we noticed you're using a adblocker". Everything has to be a subscription service these days.
I used to self host TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS) and eventually got tired of maintaining it so I looked for something else. Inoreader is subscription based but I like it the most out of all the ones I've tried.
Look here for a comparison of what you get from the free account vs the Pro subscription. https://www.inoreader.com/pricing
If you want someone else to do work for you and pay for expenses upfront for you, you should expect to pay for thator have your interaction with that service be sold to advertisers at a minimum.
TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS). It's the most complete for selfhosting.
This looks neat. I can't get it to pull images though, any ideas?
In settings under sources, you can try changing the default target to load the full content if the images are not shown. It depends on the RSS implementation.
This is exactly what I did but it's not pulling them. Might be on Lemmy's side perhaps?
Edit: it's not pulling in preview images like in the screenshots. It's pulling article images from other feeds like Hacker News though when you open the full article.
If you want one for your phone, Feedly is pretty good. On desktop, I use Liferea.
I use the Vivaldi web browser, which has its own built-in RSS reader. It's basic, but all I need and the fact its in the browser means I'm a lot more likely to check out my RSS feeds and not forget about them.
Akrigator is alright but is linux only
Give me an example of a rss link and I'll test it
