Looking for a good RSS Reader (lemmy.world)

Hello all, I am looking to start getting back into RSS feeds but nothing Ive found so far matches all of my requirements so i was going to see if you guys had any advice.

My requirements are:

  • Self hosted (preferably with an official docker container)
  • I should be able to view it in the web, as well as with an Android app but it doesn't have to be a first party app
  • It has to look nice and modern, preferably with a dark mode option

Anything you guys know of that would meet all three of those things?

Currently my plan is to run FreshRSS as my aggregator and FeedMe or Focus Reader on Android. I don't really have any plans for web viewers though

I use Tiny Tiny RSS (https://tt-rss.org/) on desktop, and while they have an official mobile app, I've been enjoying Read You on Android

Hello!

I use FresshRSS (https://freshrss.org/index.html). I'm very happy with it. When I'm on my phone I use the web interface.

[–] marauding_gibberish142@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 5 hours ago

FreshRSS or TinyRSS

[–] nuko147@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago

I use Feeder for android. I have nothing else, and now i am searching this FreshRSS, you all mentioned 🫣

[–] 486@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I like Miniflux.

[–] voluble@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

I'm trying out freshrss right now and don't like it. Possibly my issues stem from user error, but, I can't figure out how to automatically hide articles based on keywords, adding extensions is a pain, and the ui feels large and very in-the-way. By default it truncates article titles, which I find absolutely baffling.

I've been using CommaFeed for a while and I'm very happy with it. https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/ plus it is actively developed. I've reported a couple of small feature requests and the author implemented them very quickly.

As far as I know there are many third party android apps that you can use, but its responsive webUI is good enough, once you install it it is essentially as good as an app.

Most people go with either FreshRSS or Miniflux but there's lots of options to choose from.

I will preface this with I only use it's web interface so I'm unsure of an app and you can judge from the image on their site if it is modern enough for you. I'd describe it as simple overall but it does have dark themes.

I've overall had a good experience with freshrss and their docker container https://hub.docker.com/r/freshrss/freshrss.

Freshrss as well and Feedme on android. Feedme is nice since it can download everything, even webpages and images for offline reading

[–] meathappening@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 hours ago

Feedme is good but Read You is gorgeous (and we all know that's what matters).

[–] curiouschipmunk@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I use freshrss and fluent reader as android client app

[–] LeTak@lemm.ee 5 points 5 hours ago

I like netNewsWire on iOS

[–] SirMaple__@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Freshrss and Capy Reader for android app.

[–] littleomid@feddit.org 1 points 4 hours ago

I use elfeed with emacs.

[–] 0x0@programming.dev 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm happy with FeedBro (browser extension), very customizable.

[–] voluble@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

I like feedbro too. Haven't found a standalone selfhosted solution that has the same degree of customization.
