Looking for a good RSS Reader
(lemmy.world)
FreshRSS or TinyRSS
Freshrss and capyreader here. Best combo I found after a long time.
I second FreshRSS, but I use Readrops as Android client. Nothing beats the normal FreshRSS mobile experience though. I haven't tried Capyreader yet, but I'm gonna check it right now. Update: FreshRSS and Capy Reader it is. I'm impressed with how intuitive and customizable CR is. Thanks for the tip!
I use Tiny Tiny RSS (https://tt-rss.org/) on desktop, and while they have an official mobile app, I've been enjoying Read You on Android
I host my own Tiny Tiny RSS (TT-RSS), but I've used the public instance of CommaFeed too, many years ago, before I started selfhosting.
I really like TT-RSS, especially with my own theme I made, but the container image I'm using now is outdated and has some problems, and if I want to upgrade I'll have to switch image to the official one, and I won't be able to simply migrate my data over, as TT-RSS has since dropped support for MySQL completely, so I'm considering just hosting Commafeed instead (since I have to start fresh anyway).
I prefer RSS readers that feel a bit like Google Reader (R.I.P. - Gone but not forgotten)
If you're interested I wrote a quick HOWTO to migrate TT-RSS data from Mysql to Postgres a while ago. Ctrl+F search for Migrating tt-rss data to Postgresql from a MySQL-based installation here
I still use that same migrated database 4 years later
Thanks!
I use Feeder for android. I have nothing else, and now i am searching this FreshRSS, you all mentioned 🫣
I've been using CommaFeed for a while and I'm very happy with it. https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/ plus it is actively developed. I've reported a couple of small feature requests and the author implemented them very quickly.
As far as I know there are many third party android apps that you can use, but its responsive webUI is good enough, once you install it it is essentially as good as an app.
Hello!
I use FresshRSS (https://freshrss.org/index.html). I'm very happy with it. When I'm on my phone I use the web interface.
Stupid question, but how does it work? Is it just the website that you follow? Or is it an app? I've looked through the website already, but the whole RSS feed is still somewhat vague to me.
I use Firefox on my phone to view freshrss website. I try to keep it simple.

Did you get it to run? I tried it for about a day or so, and only got it kind of working
I'm actually paying a yearly subscription to support the project. I have the self-hosting task in my backlog, but I keep dragging it 😶🌫️
Ohh you are in for a treat 🫠
