      FreshRss also allows you (with some reading/testing) to scrape web pages that don’t have aftual RSS feeds. What I like is that it lets me read on web at work where I can’t use my phone, and use my phone elsewhere, and keep it all synced.

      I’m also a data/hoarder type so I like knowing that as long as I run it, I don’t lose my feeds!

      Freshrss has a nice mobile web view that works pretty well. There are also several apps out there that will work with it.

      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

              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.
