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
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

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.
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 👍
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.
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
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.
I just try to stay out of the actual webui as much as possible, pretty much only going in to change filters. maybe there’s an extension for better tagging?
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.
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.
TT-RSS tiny tiny RSS, it also has a good Android app
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.
Have you looked at Inoreader?
I set this up and like the UI but it does that stuff where it says things like "Hey you have duplicates do you want to remove them? Oops sorry you gotta pay for that" and "Hey we noticed you're using a adblocker". Everything has to be a subscription service these days.
I used to self host TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS) and eventually got tired of maintaining it so I looked for something else. Inoreader is subscription based but I like it the most out of all the ones I've tried.
Look here for a comparison of what you get from the free account vs the Pro subscription. https://www.inoreader.com/pricing
TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS). It's the most complete for selfhosting.
I'm a fan of Inoreader.
I use Liferea, which
- Discovers web feeds from web page's alternate link
- Embeds WebKit to render HTML in full
- Supports RSS comments
- Has configurable enclosure handler, so I can open YouTube in mpv
Oh man I haven't heard of Liferea in years!
Seconding Liferea.
Feeder on F-droid
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.
If you want one for your phone, Feedly is pretty good. On desktop, I use Liferea.
Give me an example of a rss link and I'll test it
The ones I like to use are Feeder for Android, Gnome Feed Reader for Linux and FluentReader on Windows. Honorable mention to vore.website for a super minimal web-based RSS reader.
