- europeanguy 4y agoWhy do you need to host something in order to consume RSS?
- rpdillon 4y agoYou don't need to. But if you want to sync read state and favorites across devices, it's a good way. I self-host FreshRSS for this, works wonderfully.
- the-printer 4y agoThis is an odd sentiment that I don’t have a counter argument for other than the beautiful UI of the app shown is worth hosting alone.

- linuxdaemon 4y agoGoogle Reader gives a good example of why one may want to host an RSS reader on their own.
- masenf 4y ago1. Synced feeds, read/unread status, and consistent UI across all devices 2. Hosted feed reader for friends and family. The author mentions the friction they imagine their friends or family would have using RSS feeds, so hosting the reader for them can reduce that friction and bootstrap cost (everyone already has a browser). Then they could always export their feeds and move to a different solution later.
- underuse4199 4y agoI have been using osmo feed [0]. Rather than self hosting, it uses GitHub actions. I have my own usename.github.io/to-read linked to it, to access it from anywhere. So far I have liked this approach. [0] https://github.com/osmoscraft/osmosfeed https://github.com/osmoscraft/osmosfeed
