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.

I have used FreshRSS before but I was always annoyed that some sites don't provide RSS feeds and that even if they provide feeds they don't provide the whole content through it and only a preview.

What do you recommend for the perfect RSS setup? What are you using? Which app are you using to read them?

When did you last use FreshRSS? It now supports creation of custom feeds using XPath scraping. ie. turn a website into a full RSS feed.

Does this work for reddit posts too - including the comments in the feed?

You could probably make it work, but comments could be difficult to include.

Thanks for the reply. Even viewing comments you mean? I can already add posts/feeds directly to freshrss, it must doesn't show the comments. I guess I can just update and try. I didn't know this feature existed!
