This is a honest question. I have two RSS services hosted on my server, and I don’t see the point. RSS is by nature distributed, and subscribing to my own server just makes the source of all news being the same. What is the advantage? What do people use it for?

    I used to pay Inoreader for the premium features they offer, but now I get them for free with FreshRss on my server. It’s not exposed to the world but I can wireguard in when I need. Works great, basically maintenance free.

      It’s crazy how they increased the prices each and every year. I switched to FreshRSS too. Amazing software

        Yah, they’re a good company and have a very good product, but I know how to do this on my own, thanks to the good folks at FreshRss, so…

      I was an Inoreader user too, but I discovered Miniflux and cannot be happier 😉
