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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

A beautiful RSS client finally adds support FreshRSS, my self hosted RSS aggregator of choice, and also for the gReader API that plenty of other services use. The dev notes however that at this time Inoreader is not supported via gReader API.

I've got my FreshRSS server going and I use its web app as a client on my phone. I don't hate it, but don't love it either. I will check this out for sure.

After a barren period , I think there are more clients that feeds these days .

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 8 points 9 months ago

Anything can be a feed with a bit of determination and a little knowhow ;)

Neat! I tried to add my freshrss server and got an error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">...

My URL is of the format https://freshrss.example.com, my tls certs are good, and I'm using freshrss version 1.23.0

I think you still have to specify the URL up to the greader.php page, maybe in your case it would be

https://freshrss.example.com/api/greader.php

[–] thejevans@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

That did it! Thanks.

What do people have an RSS server for?

[–] ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

If you want to share a set of feeds between devices, and sync read/unread, organization, etc.

[–] Someology@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Convenience.

[–] vegetaaaaaaa@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Lemmy/Reddit feeds, Yotube channels and other video hosting sites, IT/technical blogs and websites, software releases, newspapers, personal blogs... Currently there are 651 feeds in my feed reader. Actually found this post in my RSS feeds.

What incredibly obvious thing am i missing that i cant add my freshrss account? It is all just greyed out...

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, had the same trouble with the f-droid version. Tried the github apk and there it isn't greyed out.

[–] jgkawell@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

F-Droid apps typically lag behind GitHub releases because their build pipelines are different. So in this case the latest version (which supports the freshrss API) isn't available on F-Droid yet.

[–] zonsopkomst@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Same issue here. Deleted the F-Droid version. Easy way is to add it via Obtanium and let that manage your updates for you. Added my freshrss account via gnzl@nc.gnzl.cl's comment above .

I'm back to the web app. Unfortunately, with the amount of articles in my feed, the Read You app takes forever to load. Plus the web app works very well as is.

[–] pixguin@feddit.ch 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Very nice! The Google Reader API integration works with my Miniflux instance, while the Fever integration didn't.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 7 months ago

I really like the ReadYou overall design, but felt the lack of images in the main feed. Is that an option or is it just a thing?

[–] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 9 months ago

Nice, I just installed FreshRSS (the LinuxServer version) and got it working with 0.9.12.

I had to use https://url.com/api/greader.php as the URL in the app. I also had add an API password under my profile, and in Administration -> Authentication I enabled API access.

Upvote for Suzuha pfp

[–] Imhotep@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

And it works brillantly. No more missing pictures like with the fever api.

This app makes me use RSS again

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Amazing news thx for sharing

[–] alicehughes@lemmy.nebtown.info 1 points 9 months ago

Did you try アウトルック for more. I guess you have to specify URL.
