  I’ve been using FreshRSS for years, because of it’s flexibility and customization options. I switched to Nextcloud News for a while, since I’m already running Nextcloud anyhow and it’s convenient, but it was far too buggy and missed some quality of life features FreshRSS has.

  Also, I use Capy Reader on Android and that app is just perfect, with the same flexibility, plus it lets you read articles in the app, without opening the web page.

  I am on the latest version, and my settings appear to be correct. I also tried disabling all other plugins, but to no avail. Maybe I’ll dive into it this weekend, if I feel like it.

  I like the idea of having YouTube in my FreshRSS instance, but I can’t get the setting correct. I selected that I only want the layout in my YouTube category, but it’s still everywhere. Also, when I open a YouTube item, it looks the same as any other article. I do have a bunch of other layout related extensions enabled, so it might be because of that.

  I like it, but I’ll need to play with it a bit more and try to get it to work.

  I get most of my music from Bandcamp and I use Jellyfin as my streaming service. I wrote a script where I fill in the artist, album title and the download link. It then creates the relevant directories, downloads and unpacks the files and then fixes the metadata using beets with the last.fm plugin to get the genre tags. Jellyfin then does the rest.

  I’ve been wanting change the script up, so that it creates the directories after the metadata is correct, but I’ll need an evening of hyper focus for that.

  I use it for all kinds of stuff, a lot of it Dutch. I have feeds on general news, some tech stuff, some Gizmodo tags for topics I enjoy, guitar and music news, and daily comics. The feeds I follow have been trial and error. Some of them have way too much articles and they get annoying. At that point I remove them and look for something else.

  I used to use Nextcloud News as well, but it stopped working for a while after a new NC version was released, some time last year. I installed FreshRSS as a temporary solution, but I never looked back. Yes, it’s convenient that you don’t need an extra service and that it’s integrated in NC, but FreshRSS is very customizable and has a much better user experience. You can always link it to Nextcloud as an external page.

  I seconden FreshRSS, but I use Readrops as Android cliënt. Nothing beats the normal FreshRSS mobile experience though. I haven’t tried Capyreader yet, but I’m gonna check it right now.
