RSS readers allow you to collect the articles of specific sources in one app, making it a lot easier to find the content you’re interested in without crawling through a lot of noise. RSS (which may stand for Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, or one of several other possibilities — nobody seems sure) has been around a while, having been first developed in 1999, although it wasn’t more widely adopted until a few years later.

    After Google reader died and feedly became a subscription I said never again and just started self hosting my own. Currently using fresh rss and have used tiny tiny rss, both are excellent options.

      Is Feedly a subscription? I don’t pay for it. Do you have to pay after a certain number of feeds or something?

        They have subscription tiers, some make sens like lifting the cap on subscriptions, others like hiding sponsored ads are what made me bail on it. Really loved the ui though

        I’ve tried to self host next cloud but it’s just feels too bloated :(. I’m running it on a pretty solid machine too, not like it’s a raspberry pi but everything just feels sluggish.

        How is this working for you? The ui for it is completely busted on the newest version of nextcloud for me. I’ve been slowly moving most of my stuff to nextcloud but the news just isn’t working so I’ve kept my freshrss instance up and running.
