Hello all, I am looking to start getting back into RSS feeds but nothing Ive found so far matches all of my requirements so i was going to see if you guys had any advice.

My requirements are:

  • Self hosted (preferably with an official docker container)
  • I should be able to view it in the web, as well as with an Android app but it doesn’t have to be a first party app
  • It has to look nice and modern, preferably with a dark mode option

Anything you guys know of that would meet all three of those things?

Currently my plan is to run FreshRSS as my aggregator and FeedMe or Focus Reader on Android. I don’t really have any plans for web viewers though

I like Miniflux.

Miniflux for me as well, I find the progressive web app for mobile has the best color scheme for my eyes

I just installed Miniflux on my server as well.

Advantages (in my opinion) are: Package is in Debian repos (safe and no compilation needed), software is a static binary (thus does not require docker and only needs postgreSQL), documentation is good.

I second FreshRSS, but I use Readrops as Android client. Nothing beats the normal FreshRSS mobile experience though. I haven’t tried Capyreader yet, but I’m gonna check it right now. Update: FreshRSS and Capy Reader it is. I’m impressed with how intuitive and customizable CR is. Thanks for the tip!

I installed Capyreader for the capybara, but stayed for how nice the app is.

I use Tiny Tiny RSS (https://tt-rss.org/) on desktop, and while they have an official mobile app, I’ve been enjoying Read You on Android

I highly recommend trying CapyReader for mobile, it is much snappier!

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ve been trying it out for a few days now and it is my new favorite app in terms of design. I’m having a strange problem where it keeps logging me out every couple days, but other than that I love it

Glad to hear!

And the developer is quite responsive, open up a GitHub issue with the details and I’m confident it’ll get sorted out.

He’s also on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@_jocmp

Most people go with either FreshRSS or Miniflux but there’s lots of options to choose from.
