Hi friends! Is there a good alternative to a news + feeds aggregator such as Feedly? I need to monitor some RSS feeds and other sources such as blogs and websites. I tried installing feedpushr but it already struggled with importing some RSS feeds and doesn’t do other sources, so I think I need something more flexible/powerful.

      Couldn’t agree more on FreshRSS, it even has the capability to fetch complete articles and to build feeds for websites that do not have an RSS feed if you know basic HTML.

      I would also recommend installing the Get RSS Feed URL extension for Firefox and Chrome.

    I use https://miniflux.app/ now after switching from tinytinyRSS, which was in fact, not so tiny 😉

    Miniflux has a simple, minimal web UI which works nicely from any device. It is kept simple and minimal, which I consider nice but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

    In short: this is small, nice, easy to use and it runs on minimal resources. I’m happily using it for years already. 👍

    RSS is an old enough standard (1999) that there are a LOT of options available – biggest limitation is what platform and do you want standalone program/app or web-based?

      Unfortunately many of the sources I want to check don’t offer RSS; so it would need to be a bit more flexible. Web based would be nice

    If you find that you’re generally reading articles on a single device (e.g. your phone), consider a local RSS reader app that doesn’t require a server elsewhere. I’ve been using read you for this (also interested in trying out feeder ), and its a great, simple, elegant solution. The occasion where I’d like to see the feed on my computer is definitely outweighed by not having to manage self-hosting or pay for an online solution.
