I have used FreshRSS before but I was always annoyed that some sites don’t provide RSS feeds and that even if they provide feeds they don’t provide the whole content through it and only a preview.
What do you recommend for the perfect RSS setup? What are you using? Which app are you using to read them?
Thats it. First sentence on link. Generates an rss feed from a youtube channel or from a soundcloud user, etc
Right but, why do I need to self-host this?
You don’t have to self host it if you scroll down there is a list of public instances: https://rss-bridge.github.io/rss-bridge/General/Public_Hosts.html
Reason to self host, some websites don’t like rss bridge because it’s a kind of adblock from their point of view, and they actively block the ip addresses of these instances. If you selfhost it, you can use these sites, because a single user instance won’t generate as much traffic than 1000 users, so they won’t notice your instance
How else are you going to use it? Ok they have an hosted instance, but that’s not great for privacy and will break as soon as it gets somewhat popular as the sites usually have scraping protections.
