What is the crowd's opinion of FreshRSS?

From 3.5 billion comments

I gotta ask.

Why does everyone keep reinventing the RSS feed? I've seen dozens of people working on this exact project, but never figured out what the benefits are over already built, tested, and deployed solutions like FreshRSS.

Self-hosted is only useful if you need access no matter where you happen to be or what devices are available to you. I read feeds at work, at home, and on the road so self-hosted is the only good solution. If you just read your feeds at home on your PC, stick to a client.

If you do decide to go self-hosted RSS, try FreshRSS. TTRSS is good but the author is a toxic asshole who likes to ban people in his forums if he feels your questions are beneath him and he has a little clique of hangers-on who enable his shitty behaviour.

More lightweight solution: I also use FreshRSS ( https://freshrss.org )and I *think* it also has this functionality. I was hesitant to use Tiny Tiny RSS due to some negatieve PR around the developer and am very pleased with the use of FreshRSS.

I've been running FreshRSS in a container for a year now and it has been great. Its doesn't have the slickest UI - but it works and works well. If you don't want to use its Web UI, it has a API endpoint that you can plug into third-party mobile readers like Reeder on IOS.

I have installed FreshRSS on a shared hosting environment. Works like a charm. https://freshrss.github.io/FreshRSS/en/admins/03_Installation.html

hell yea, freshrss is great. its like my own personal magazine.

i PARTICULARLY like that there is the 'visibility' option, how i have an 'ALL' category, that doesnt necessarily include every single one of my feeds. the feed will show in its category, but not in the 'Main' stream.

was nervous about switching from ttrss, but its been very painless. wonderful project. https://freshrss.org/

I am running Organizr V2 on Raspberry Pi 3 along with FreshRSS, PiHole and Logitech Media Server

FreshRss isn't super fast, but it's acceptable.

Everything plays together nicely.

Developers and designers? Yes! I make point of out of supporting on on every site I'm involved with. Most sites still have them, actually. The one you're on right now as an example. I actually found this post in via my RSS reader.

Personally, it's my preferred way of sourcing information. https://freshrss.org/ is awesome.
