Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

You might not be aware but Lemmy has RSS built into it. I just noticed myself so I wanted to check out the current state of RSS clients and well, nothing seems to be quite what I'm after.

What RSS clients out there are worth looking at? I notice several have self-hosted server solutions which is interesting. I don't care if it's free, open source, paid or whatever though, I just want a good experience.

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.

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

Sadly I haven't yet got Kbin's RSS to work with FreshRSS. It claims there is no feed. Which is a shame. But yes I use FreshRSS daily 👍
