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. 🤙🏻
This looks interesting, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a whirl.
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.
No apk for this?
There are apps which can connect to FreshRSS, but the mobile UI is better, IMO.
I don't think so, but you can find a list of apps compatible with it here : https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS#apis--native-apps
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).
I've replaced ttrss with Miniflux and I'm very happy with it. No need for a mobile app, the web interface is just fine on both desktop and phone.
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.
I selfhost FreshRSS and connect to it with Reeder on iOS.
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.
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
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 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.
TT-RSS tiny tiny RSS, it also has a good Android app
Have you looked at Inoreader?
Not yet but I'm going to!
TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS). It's the most complete for selfhosting.
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'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.
Feeder on F-droid
I use Liferea, which
Oh man I haven't heard of Liferea in years!
I like feedly
I'm a fan of Inoreader.
If you want one for your phone, Feedly is pretty good. On desktop, I use Liferea.
I'm using https://miniflux.app/ and I'm very happy with it.
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.
Could be. I haven't tried with Lemmy. Will try later and mention you with my results.
I use mozilla thunderbird for rss feeds but it depends on your OS. Desktop? Phone? Windows? Linux?
Thunderbird is basically an email client so the RSS feed reader mimics that, which is not what I'm after (kinda reminds me of being at work). Thanks for the suggestion though!
If you’re on iOS and/or Mac, my go-to RSS reader is NetNewsWire.
Give me an example of a rss link and I'll test it
On Android nothing comes close to gReader Pro with The Old Reader as sync Backend. Sadly the app is discontinued, however the apk can be used just fine.
I like this one
Can be used with nextcloud news too
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.
