It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.

    Since you’ve used both, what are your feelings on FreshRSS vs. tt-rss?

    Around the death of google reader, I set up a tt-rss instance, imported all my saved stuff, and I’ve been using it continuously since (I’m technically in an unsupported configuration because I set it up long before docker became the preferred then only supported configuration, but it just keeps ticking installed like a normal piece of software on a rented VM).
    I’m generally super pleased, and it’s my primary mode of content consumption via browser + Android App, and I use the “note” and “share with note” features pretty extensively to plumb to some other folks with similar setups.

    Fox (the main tt-rss dev) is clearly an asshole, and there are some geopolitical complications because he’s a Russian national, but he’s made an excellent focused piece of software. I’ve considered looking seriously in to FreshRSS, but have a lot of inertia and at a glance it looks like it’s missing a few features.

      My TT-RSS was buggy. j/k to go forward/backward stopped working for some reason, I didn’t know why, dev’s an asshole and switching is easy, so FreshRSS it was :D

      Honestly, I’d just stay with TT-RSS if you don’t have issues, they are both great tools for those who want simple, compact UI readers.
