Me: I’m sick of paying $50 a year for Feedbin

Also me: I’ll host my own FreshRSS instance with a .media domain name that renews for $60 a year

@grubz I took all the temptation out of it and went with managed Miniflux hosting. It’s like $15/year and has worked great for me for a few years now.

miniflux.app/hosting.h…

@kev @grubz I'm using Newsboat. It costs me exactly nothing. And I don't have to maintain or worry about anything.

You can't beat that! 😉

PS. Miniflux is good though! I have used it in the past. Some features are questionable designed though. Like how complicated filters are, or how they don't apply until you refresh the feed.

@hund @kev idk what’s going on today but my whole feed is full of posts about RSS! I was just looking at this scoreboard from OpenRSS someone posted and it looks like Newsboat and Miniflux both do things a little better than FreshRSS. Definitely didn’t have RSS rabbit hole on the schedule when I woke up lol

Edit: also, I got the .media domain name super cheap and didn’t realize the fucking thing renews for almost $60 a year after the first year 😵‍💫

@grubz @kev That's what so much fun about this place! It doesn't matter what super niche subject it may be, there's always a billion users with tons of knowledge and opinions!

@hund @grubz @kev I love FreshRSS and I found an open instance so I don't have to pay a cent ;)

@joel I really have been liking it so far. I tried to host it with namecheap on a shared server a while back and there was certain stuff I just couldn’t get right. But running it on PikaPods, it’s less than $2 a month for the actual hosting and everything just works

@joel @grubz @kev That's cheating! 😉

@grubz @hund @joel I’ve always wanted to love FreshRSS, bit it’s so damned ugly. TT-RSS was good back in the day, but it looks like things have changed with the project these days.

@kev you got me there. You can add your own css but there’s only so much you can do with that
