I use FreshRSS on the server side, Reeder on mobile (iOS), Newsboat on desktop. Reeder + FreshRSS has been a very premium-feeling experience for me. One downside to this setup is that FreshRSS' web interface sucks on mobile, at least on iOS -- but with Reeder I never have to use the web interface.
There is an Android RSS client I've used that works with FreshRSS but I can't recall it.
I self host the following services to get RSS feeds for specific users/channels on closed (or less functional with RSS) platforms:
- Bibliogram (Instagram)
- Nitter (Twitter)
- Teddit (Reddit)
- RSSHub (Youtube and a bunch of other integrations)
Like having an article go into a smart folder based on a keyword or some other basic filtering metric (say the author, tags of the blog post etc). Really anything beyond the basic way feed readers have folders and feeds by site
What didn't you like about miniflux? I've been using that for a couple of years now, solid, easy web interface (or use Fever feeds for a client), and paired with rss-bridge works great.
It's been a few years, so I can't say for sure. I think there were some deployment and web UI issues, but I see now v2 is written in Go, so I might give it a try again. Thanks.
For reference, I run miniflux on a Pi (4? I think) which is my home server. Runs great on there and I mostly just use the web reader these days. Was a little more minimalist than I would have liked at first, but grown to appreciate that. Nice and fast too.
Fraidycat looks good, though it's more like a client than a self-hosted service. I especially like that it can follow / aggregate a bunch of different types of sources. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat
Not your question, but I tried a bunch after Google Reader shut down and landed on Bazqux. I've been a happy paying customer for years since the dev was so responsive and even helped identify an issue with one of my self-created feeds...
Not exactly what you’re after but IF you’re on Mac/iOS you can set up Reeder (https://reederapp.com/) in combination with iCloud to sync across devices.
Or if you don’t care about having multiple devices synced you can simply use the app and have your local feed.
I am not sure how each of the apps are between one another. For pricing, I think Reeder is one time while Fiery Feed Reader is $15 a year for in app family subscription. Readkit is $10 a year or $40 lifetime.
All three apps are made by indie developers and not bigger corporations.
I use the official extension from Nextcloud. It has an user interface in the nextcloud web app and a dedicated mobile client.
Probably not as fully featured as other services, but it perfectly fits my needs and if you already has a Nextcloud instance, it's just one click away from install.
I've been using selfoss since Google Reader shut down. It's nothing special, but it's been running without problems for many years now without any issues
Services like this look good, but I'd like to avoid depending on a 3rd-party to keep it running. Fool me once...
