With Reddit sunsetting, I'm looking back to RSS. What are the best current tools?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/selfhosted

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • FreshRSS

    A free, self-hostable news aggregator


  • I use FreshRSS. It's great.

  • Miniflux

    Minimalist and opinionated feed reader

  • I really like miniflux it's PWA is very nice

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Lemmy

    🐀 A link aggregator and forum for the fediverse

  • This is self hosted, so I'm going with https://join-lemmy.org

  • freshrss-mercury-parser

    Fetches full article content using Mercury Parser (needs to be set up separately).

  • Interesting, I had not come across the mercury parser before, looks great. Is this the freshrss plugin you use? GitHub - simon-wessel/freshrss-mercury-parser

  • RSS-Bridge

    The RSS feed for websites missing it

  • Let‘s not forget the brilliant rss-bridge, which generates feeds from websites which haven‘t one.

  • Selfoss

    multipurpose rss reader, live stream, mashup, aggregation web application

  • I liked selfoss for self hosting. For some reason a good portion of RSS Readers have really convoluted setups. Selfoss is easy with a docker (compose).
