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

Hello!

I use FresshRSS (https://freshrss.org/index.html). I'm very happy with it. When I'm on my phone I use the web interface.

I do this as well since I couldn't get any third-party apps to work with single sign-on. The web reader is actually quite good and I don't really miss anything from the apps.

Stupid question, but how does it work? Is it just the website that you follow? Or is it an app? I've looked through the website already, but the whole RSS feed is still somewhat vague to me.

I use Firefox on my phone to view freshrss website. I try to keep it simple.
