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.

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.

@[email protected] Did some testing and it seems that it doesn't load images through RSS but if you select load webpage, it will show the image.

Ah, that's weird and unfortunate. Thanks for checking though.
