    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…

      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.

      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.

    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 have copied the latest git revision c67b943aa894b90103c4752ac430958886b996b2 from https://gitlab.tt-rss.org/tt-rss/tt-rss to my gitea instance which is mirrored to https://gitlab.com/nodiscc/tt-rss and https://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.

      If you already have a Nextcloud instance I can recommend the “App” called News. There is an official android app that works well.

      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.

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

    I no longer find it fun to maintain public-facing anything

    I think the kids would say: “Mood.”

    The post is a bit low on details, but I strongly suspect this is a victim of AI scraping.

      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.
