FreshRSS is a selfhosted RSS feed management tool

In this release, we have restarted to focus on features. A long-awaited feature has been added, namely sorting articles by various criteria: received date (existing, default), publication date, title, link, random.

A few highlights ✨:

  • Add order-by options to sort articles by received date (existing, default), publication date, title, link, random
  • Allow searching in all feeds, also feeds only visible at category level with &get=A, and also those archived with &get=Z
  • UI accessible from user-query view
  • New shortcuts for adding user labels to articles
  • Several improvements and bug fixes

RSS is one of those things that I grew up always seeing online but never really took the time to understand what it is or how it worked.

Until about a year ago when I set up FreshRSS. Now RSS is like the primary way I consume news online, I can’t believe it took me until current year to get onboard with the concept.

It’s great. You can subscribe to all sorts of stuff including Lemmy communities if you want. You just have to be a little nerdy to get it set up.

I used to use Google Feeds (I think that’s what it was called?) until they shut it down. Then I switched to Feedly. I think both of those had some “discovery” functionality so normal people could just search for something and follow it. You have to find your own RSS feeds with FreshRSS but it’s still great. I use Read You as an Android app.

Google Reader was such a great webapp. This and Google Listen are the two Google apps I miss the most.

RSS allows you agency over your web content consumption. Something modern social media feeds and algorithm driven news feeds don’t allow.

The only feature I want in FreshRSS is a way to DELETE entries. This is critically important if you’re using RSS feeds for something like Lemmy (or Reddit) where some very NSFW or illegal content gets through before it’s moderated out of the platform. I really don’t want to be archiving that shit!

I host my own Matrix server and wow is it ever a terrible feeling, knowing that material from another server just slides its way into mine and gets immediately cached.

As someone who’s been using ttrss for decades but would be open to trying something new, what would you say is FreshRSS’ killer feature (and missing killer feature) compared to ttrss?

(Not trying to start a flame war, ttrss feels like a finished project, which is not a bad thing, but I think it’s healthy to wish for more innovation in this space)

I like the simple layout for list views that is consistent across devices. I host my freshrss instance on a VPS and use it on multiple devices and it nicely syncs what I read.

I think in terms of an RSS viewer, there’s not too much big differences though. Any reason why you’d be looking for something new?
