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.

I’ve been using Nextcloud News with my Nextcloud provider, works pretty well.
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.
I mostly use it on my phone with the News app.
Yeah, I saw that, made me do Inoreader. Was gonna self host, but figured wasn’t worth it, due to moving around a lot.
