What’s your RSS solutions? (lemmy.world)

I am trying to move away from social media this year, read more news to stay informed and self-host more services. So I figured RSS is the best path forward, but I’m struggling to find a good configuration for my needs, so I thought I’d start a discussion. Also open to any feed recommendations.

I started with Hoarder, which I’m enjoying, but it feels like a solution best used for saving sites/images for reference and not day to day reading. Installed FreshRSS yesterday and absolutely loving it, the web interface is really nice. But I’ve not found an iOS app I like, I’ve got NetNewsWire installed, but it doesn’t seem to acknowledge the Visibility setting in FeshRSS. Which is my favorite setting, I’d like to have some feeds excluded from the main feed (BBC News or DEV.to for example). Maybe there is another way to achieve this with FreshRSS and NetNewsWire.

Any FreshRSS tips?

How do you do RSS personally and any iOS app recommendations?

Also any favorite feeds, I’ve currently got Hackaday, Hacker News, Ars Technica and self.st. I’d like more coding and 3D suggestions, but I’m open to anything.

Use feeeed for iOS. Looks and feels more modern than a lot of the other RSS apps but without any stupid bs. Free with no ads. Has a built-in reader mode that strips out article ads. Developed by one very awesome dude.

It can handle more than just RSS content too- you can follow Bluesky/Mastodon accounts, YouTube channel uploads, subreddits, and more with it.

I highly recommend changing the default view from “cards” to “list” so you can see more content.

I couldn’t get this to work with FreshRSS. Do you know how to integrate it with the FreshRSS api?

I was able to import the demo feed successfully, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for every FreshRSS feed.

I appreciate your effort here & the screenshots. Unfortunately, this isn't what I was looking for. This just imports a "dumb" feed and doesn't actually integrate with the API. Integrating with FreshRSS' API, (the app OP mentioned), allows the RSS reader to interoperate with the FreshRSS application. For example, if I read an article on my mobile device, it will be marked as read on FreshRSS. So if I later pull up my feed on Newsboat (on my linux machine) or Readrops (my android tablet), those same articles won't be presented to me again. Also, if I've made any customizations regarding my home feed in FreshRSS those will also be reflected in these other RSS Readers. That's why the API is the preferred way to connect to these other readers.

I just didn't see a place for a user/API key input within feeeed.
