    I keep being quite impressed by the fact the theme I made shows up in videos quite often now lol.
    I love FreshRSS! Thanks for sharing

    You cover all the good ones. I love FreshRSS and have been self-hosting it for a few years; Best decision I've made in tech. Cheers from your neighbor in Southeast, Michigan 😀

    Thank you I really needed this. I've wanted to get into RSS feeds for years but could never break into them. I needed this though because of everything you said. I read a lot all day and I sift through a lot of distractions to do it. I request more videos like this. I could always use another suggestion for a docker container!

      @@jardelainen8278 What does one thing has to do with the other? Why would you need to be into RSS in order to run a docker service on a selfhosted server? I'm a sysadmin with 30+ years experience, I still trying to find out what is so great about RSS. I know what it is, I just don't see the big advantage over reading the posts directly at the source. You need to go there anyway in order to reply. But perhaps RSS is only meant for consumers, not for producers or participants?

      ​@@philconners8871rss allows you to follow many sources all in a single centralized location, your reader. It's like the original social media news feed, but better because the "algorithm" is under your control.

    Have you tried Full Text RSS? It's a great way of getting the full article instead of just a snippet in the RSS feed. I use it in combination with FreshRSS.

    now that reddit's future is questionable, I've started touching on the idea of RSS. I have FreshRSS installed on unraid and im going down this rabbit hole. Are there any freshrss extensions that are must haves?

    Not sure if you left this in deliberately, but I thought I'd mention it as this is technically a leak of private information. At 8:40, in the bottom left is the private RSS link for your Reddit feed visible.

    I use Tiny Tiny RSS instead, the ui is more like i remember it from the popular but gone google reader.
    To get feeds from sites without RSS i use RSS-Bridge.
    Man, i use an RSS reader basically daily for the last ~15 years, this tech is old and underrated, but still so simple and useful.

    Could you do a video on MiniFlux? From posts on the RSS subreddit, it seems to have several useful plugins.
    One such plugin downloads the entire article even if the feed only contains part of it.

      @@LAWRENCESYSTEMS No worries. I’m collecting info on paid other-hosted and free self-hosted RSS aggregators before I pick one. TinyTiny RSS, FreshRSS, Newsblur, and Minflux come
      up often in my search results.
      Feedbin does too, but it sounds like a pain to self-host.

    I use FreshRSS for years now, it's really nice. There's also RSS-Bridge, a great tool that accompanies FreshRSS. I also bought a license for FiveFilters to create RSS feeds for sites that don't support them. Although If anyone knows a project that does this better than FiveFilters I would love to hear.

    This doesnt work on windows without some configuration. You need some cert.pem file and you have to point to its path in the apache .ini file along with some other things.
