    Its similar yo feeder but it’ll gather articles then process them / store them locally.

    You can browse them from its UI or connect via a client. I use NetNewsWire in iOS.

          I dont want to host , I just want to know why people hosted. I’ve seen it in a few self hosting videos and I was interested. And yes feeder the green app.

            We selfhost for multiple reasons:

            1. We like to host things
            2. We care about privacy
            3. Sick of subscription models

                I see.

                Freshrss would grab articles proceess them and store them locally. If you’re interested in rss then go ahead.

                Look into rss-bridge as well.

            When I use my self-hosted FreshRSS, I have my own copy of the articles that nobody else can see or delete. Sometimes a site will post an article, FreshRSS grabs it, then the site takes it down. I still have it, though, because it was already grabbed. Nobody else is tracking what I’m reading. Nobody else is showing me adds in the middle of my articles. Nobody else knows which ones I favorite. I don’t see or have to exert any effort to ignore user comments. It’s much faster to scroll through the feed, read what you want, mark the rest read, and then done. You can skim a lot of stuff rapidly. but only be bothered with the title of anything you decide not to read.
