It always has been.

I like FreshRSS - I also have some readers that connect to my instance, like FluentReader that provides a better full article view, but I mostly use FreshRSS directly these days.
tehWrapper@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Looks like it supports a wide range of readers with two different API .
FreshRSS supports access from mobile / native apps for Linux, Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, via two distinct APIs: Google Reader API (best), and Fever API (limited features, less efficient, less safe).

I use and like it.
Jason2357@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Yeah, it’s great, fast, works with lots of local clients and has lots of plug ins for whatever esoteric need you might have. I can fly through the days articles very quickly with a handful of key presses.

If you already have a Nextcloud instance I can recommend the “App” called News. There is an official android app that works well.
tehWrapper@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I have had nextcloud in the past and may go back.

I didn’t like it, as it didn’t have the exact full article view mode I desired, but lots of people like it.

i don’t get why people use web services for rss, it can be done completely clientside, that’s… kind of the whole point of rss…

To keep it synchronized between devices
fodor@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
No, it isn’t the whole point. The point is to curate our own news. And a separate question is how to browse the results. If you use two devices, you might want a server side solution. Maybe. There are many reasonable setups.
daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
You could want to have multiple clients in sync.
Also a web service could be fetching 24/7 and perform classification algorithms before serving to the client that will only connect a few times a day.

In my case (not necessarily your case, of course), the cheapest selling-point has become that I already have a browser open for almost everything else, so that’s one less thing to install and check in on. But it’s also easier to keep up to date reading when individual computers have problems and usually has a nicer API for scripting, if you need that sort of thing.

Try a good one such as Inoreader or NewsBlur, you’ll never look back

The loss of Google Reader is basically what taught me not to get too attached to services I can’t host myself. I’m hosting an older version of TT-RSS (due to migration issues to newer versions), and will continue with that until it no longer works for me, and then I will probably move on to CommaFeed. I’ve already tested all the commonly self hosted RSS readers out there, and that’s the one that fits my needs best, other than TT-RSS.

I really enjoy tt-rss. I self host it so i guess I’ll keep using it until i find a replacement, but this is sad.
tehWrapper@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Kinda hope someone else picks up the work cause I have been using ttrss for well over 15 years.

For the record, it seems the project moved on, just without its previous maintained, to github: github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss
erock@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
While not the same I use an rss-to-email service that hits the minimal sweet spot for me

The post is abit low on details, but I strongly suspect this is a victim of AI scraping.
fodor@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Well, they’ve also been maintaining the software since 2005. They said why they’re closing shop, so why not take their words at face value? They have no obvious reason to lie.
Many of us have started and maintained projects and then moved on when our lives changed. That is just normal.
poVoq@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
Yes and the reason they state sounds a lot like AI scraping made hosting public services such a PITA that they lost motivation to continue doing it. Lots of long running projects that used to require very little maintainance are now DDOSed by these scrapers.
daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
It really doesn’t seem like that’s the case. It doesn’t even makes much sense. What do tou think was being AI scrapped? The source code?
poVoq@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
It makes a lot of sense. Both the git repos that they hosted and things like a RSS feed-reader are things that are the prime target for AI scrapers and the same time quite database query heavy on the backend so that the scraping really has a big impact on the costs of running these services.
And yes source-code is among what is the most targeted data to ingest by AI scrapers, mainly to train coding assistants but apparently it also helps LLMs to understand logic better.

I have copied the latest git revision
c67b943aa894b90103c4752ac430958886b996b2from gitlab.tt-rss.org/tt-rss/tt-rss to my gitea instance which is mirrored to gitlab.com/nodiscc/tt-rss and github.com/nodiscc/tt-rss.I don’t intend to make changes or bugfixes (it’s working fine), but I will try to keep it compatible with the PHP version in Debian stable, since I’ve been using it for years and would really like to keep doing so.
