What does HackerNews think of FreshRSS?

A free, self-hostable aggregator…

Language: PHP

#6 in PHP
I used to use TT-RSS years ago, but switched to FreshRSS which is much more active and feature full - https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS
Self-hosted instance of FreshRSS [0], Readrops [1] as the client on Android, html2rss [2] for websites that don't have RSS feeds and AtoMail [3] to get newsletters as RSS feeds instead.

Edit: forgot to mention RssBridge [4] to get tweets that match certain criteria as an RSS feed. RssBridge also provides access to many other platforms.

I've been using FreshRSS [0] for a while now as my RSS reader, it's open source and can be self-hosted. It's been reliable and easy to use.

If you (or someone in this thread) like self-hosted Docker stuff, I've been using FreshRSS [0] and TinyTinyRSS [1] (former is more visually modern, latter is a bit more deeper in functionality).

Use an RSS reader. You will like the lack of feeling of being forced to comment on things you don't care much about in retrospection. No tracking or ads, only content. You can filter shady sites or posts from appearing.

Here are some readers.

If you like something closed source, try feedly.

Reddit provides rss for now. For sources that don't, you can use rss.app or similar.

One more useful thing some readers provide is an email address that you can use for subscribing to newsletters.

The RSS feed (https://news.ycombinator.com/rss) comes into FreshRSS (https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS)

Usually just skim the comments to gather insight as quickly as possible, if there seems to be a strong signal with depth, I'll add the HN page to Pocket (https://getpocket.com) and check back later when I clear through all the backlog of interesting things

HN has replaced Reddit for me. I'm still reading Slashdot, two decades later, it usually just dupes HN.

Also Lobsters (https://lobste.rs) has some decent content, similar position in that it often dupes HN, but interesting regardless

You forgot the links, here they are:

Looks great, thanks!

edit: aaargh, formatting

May I suggest FreshRSS, a free and self-hosted RSS reader: https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS
