You might not be aware but Lemmy has RSS built into it. I just noticed myself so I wanted to check out the current state of RSS clients and well, nothing seems to be quite what I’m after.

What RSS clients out there are worth looking at? I notice several have self-hosted server solutions which is interesting. I don’t care if it’s free, open source, paid or whatever though, I just want a good experience.

      I set this up and like the UI but it does that stuff where it says things like “Hey you have duplicates do you want to remove them? Oops sorry you gotta pay for that” and “Hey we noticed you’re using a adblocker”. Everything has to be a subscription service these days.

        I used to self host TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS) and eventually got tired of maintaining it so I looked for something else. Inoreader is subscription based but I like it the most out of all the ones I’ve tried.

        Look here for a comparison of what you get from the free account vs the Pro subscription. https://www.inoreader.com/pricing

          What was hard about maintaining ttrss? I spun up a docker a couple years ago and really never touch it.

            It was not difficult but eventually a new version of TT-RSS equired a newer version of php and my provider did not have it nor were they going to upgrade anytime soon. So I looked for a hosted option.

        If you want someone else to do work for you and pay for expenses upfront for you, you should expect to pay for thator have your interaction with that service be sold to advertisers at a minimum.

          Sure, but I don’t think it has to be a subscription nag. They’re free to monetize as they wish but I don’t have to use it either when non-subscription alternatives exist.
