Looking for a good RSS Reader
-
I'm trying out freshrss right now and don't like it. Possibly my issues stem from user error, but, I can't figure out how to automatically hide articles based on keywords, adding extensions is a pain, and the ui feels large and very in-the-way. By default it truncates article titles, which I find absolutely baffling.
The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days
I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works

Freshrss and capyreader here. Best combo I found after a long time.
I seconden FreshRSS, but I use Readrops as Android cliënt. Nothing beats the normal FreshRSS mobile experience though.
I haven't tried Capyreader yet, but I'm gonna check it right now. -
Did you get it to run? I tried it for about a day or so, and only got it kind of working

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

I'm actually paying a yearly subscription to support the project. I have the self-hosting task in my backlog, but I keep dragging it
️Ohh you are in for a treat 🫠

I host my own Tiny Tiny RSS (TT-RSS), but I've used the public instance of CommaFeed too many years ago, before I started selfhosting.
I really like TT-RSS, especially with my own theme I made, but the container image I'm using now is outdated and has some problems, and if I want to upgrade I'll have to switch image to the official one, and I won't be able to simply migrate my data over, as TT-RSS has since dropped support for MySQL completely, so I'm considering just hosting Commafeed instead (since I have to start fresh anyway).
I prefer RSS readers that feel a bit like Google Reader (R.I.P. - Gone but not forgotten)
If you're interested I wrote a quick HOWTO to migrate TT-RSS data from Mysql to Postgres a while ago. Ctrl+F search for
Migrating tt-rss data to Postgresql from a MySQL-based installationhereI still use that same migrated database 4 years later

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.
