FreshRSS all day long
Agreed! I went looking for a self-hosted RSS, land on FreshRSS, and it was amazingly easy to set up and run and use...
I use FreshRSS as the backbend for my clients, but I hate its interface for actually reading.
If I were reading on the web, I'd switch back to Miniflux
I'm yet to find a web-based RSS reader that's not terrible. NewsFlash for Linux and NetNewsWire for Mac are the best I've seen but both are local. They both also support syncing to a FreshRSS server but I've never had success.
Currently I'm running Miniflux but it doesn't seem to be able to refresh itself or sort articles chronologically.
Edit: MiniFlux seems to have fixed itself somehow. I'm using FluxNews on Android. But it doesn't support "reader" mode, which I find to be a vital part of any RSS service.
