I use fresh rss since its rather easy to selfhost, and read you on my android. Unfortunately read you doesn't play well with freshrss yet.

Same. Specifically I use it as a GUI to organize them; for the actual reading, I wrote a script that compiles an E-mail digest periodically: https://github.com/it-is-wednesday/miniflux-mail-digest

I use NewsReader on both iOS and OSX.

I think it’s one of the best.

I use Miniflix and I find it very usable, minimal and nice

I straight up don't understand how RSS works.

[–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Individual sites have RSS feeds, which are essentially just XML files that contain a list of all the articles on the site.

You run software that's referred to as a feed reader, which contains a list of all the RSS URLs you want to subscribe to. It either periodically checks to see if there's updates to the RSS files, or gets notified of updates via WebSub.

This seems great for keeping up on your favorite blogs.

[–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely :)

It used to be the main way people followed their favourite blogs. Google had a great product called "Google Reader" for RSS, and people were pretty upset when it was shut down.

Before Google Reader, it was pretty common for email clients to support RSS too.

+1

Yarr (https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr) is a versatile web-based feed aggregator that serves as both a desktop application and a personal self-hosted server.

Please be aware that the releases available on the GitHub repository "https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr" might not be the most up-to-date versions. However, you have the option to compile the application from the source code, ensuring that you benefit from essential bug fixes and improvements.

Self hosted Tiny Tiny RSS instance with the Tiny Tiny RSS for Android app. Works really well and never had any issues.

This might actually help me move away from feedme and greader for android. Both of these apps support Feedly, but the development cycle is extremely slow to resolve some of the bugs it has.

+1 for miniflux, has all the features and it's really light.

I didn't know about news, might give it a look. I've been using Microflux on Android.

Found my new least favorite app icon

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Hey I even paid for having it custom made ^^

[–] millionsofplayers@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Somehow I didn’t see the β€œI wrote” part

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 points 11 months ago

No worries, I also think especially the teeth are kind of creepy :D

[–] dan@upvote.au 0 points 1 year ago

I'm using FreshRSS along with the Readrops Android app.
