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

Freshrss and capyreader here. Best combo I found after a long time.
I second FreshRSS, but I use Readrops as Android client. Nothing beats the normal FreshRSS mobile experience though. I haven’t tried Capyreader yet, but I’m gonna check it right now. Update: FreshRSS and Capy Reader it is. I’m impressed with how intuitive and customizable CR is. Thanks for the tip!
I installed Capyreader for the capybara, but stayed for how nice the app is.
FreshRSS or TinyRSS
I like Miniflux.
I just installed Miniflux on my server as well.
Advantages (in my opinion) are: Package is in Debian repos (safe and no compilation needed), software is a static binary (thus does not require docker and only needs postgreSQL), documentation is good.
Miniflux for me as well, I find the progressive web app for mobile has the best color scheme for my eyes
I use Feeder for android. I have nothing else, and now i am searching this FreshRSS, you all mentioned 🫣
I use Newsboat from command line. Great distraction free way to get your news. Easy to open up a browser if I wanna see a video or picture too with it
Most people go with either FreshRSS or Miniflux but there’s lots of options to choose from.
Not exactly what you asked, but if you’re gonna read from Android, I highly suggest CapyReader.
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.
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.
NewsBlur
Did you get it to run? I tried it for about a day or so, and only got it kind of working
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 😶🌫️
