I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

Would you mind elaborating a bit? I've been looking into good rss solutions lately and blogs without a feed were where I got stuck. How do you use five filters? How do the two components work together?

Edit: Also, some sites WITH a feed like Pitchfork are next to useless when all you get is the headline.

Here's a short blog post that summarizes how to use Full-Text RSS with FreshRSS. It's a bit of a pain to add new feeds but it makes for a smooth experience afterwards.

Otherwise, you could always just use RSS clients that have the ability to fetch full articles, Read You on Android and Fluent Reader on desktop both can do this.

That plus a browser extension that finds the right rss feed for you like get rss feed url on firefox.

I copy the rss with the extension
Then I paste that into five filters
Use that to give it to fresh rss which will get me a nice looking post with images and text

I'm not the person you replied to, but they say in their comment they use Get RSS Feed URL.

RSSHub (selfhosted)
It has a button to quickly add an entry to your FreshRSS, very useful.

Thanks. Do you host five filters? Do you pay for it?

[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah i host five filters, fresh rss, and a mariadb container for fresh rss

I personally don't host the firefox extension I just found it recommend on reddit to get rss urls from sites that don't have a link
