I'm moving from Feedly to self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS soon: https://tt-rss.org https://tt-rss.org Would be fun if others did the same and posted about their experiences!

I have been using self-hosted RSS aggregators for some time now (currently [FreshRSS](https://freshrss.org/ https://freshrss.org/ )) and I have been delighted ! I feel it complements HN or Reddit really well in giving me the ability to follow specific people or projects.

I moved to self-hosted tt-rss when Google Reader shut down and the 50 or so other clients/services I tried were not good enough. Been using tt-rss ever since and very happy with it.

Interesting, thanks for the link. I just noticed it is also packaged into Debian.

I used tt-rss for a long time, but about 6 months ago I moved over to FreshRSS. But either way, self-hosted RSS is the way to go. Nobody can take it away from you...

  Why did you move? What's your experience with FreshRSS been compared to TT-RSS?

    Honestly, it's hard to articulate or even pinpoint one thing. I like the layout and options of FreshRSS, and a few little things; for example, I use categories, and when I hit 'mark as read' on a category in tt-rss, it would indeed mark everything as read, including items that had refreshed behind the scenes since the last time I opened the category, effectively marking items as read that I hadn't seen yet. FreshRSS seems smart enough to realize that those items haven't been displayed. Also, tt-rss' developer, fox, is rather abrasive, akin to Theo de Raadt from OpenBSD (which I love and will always use, despite Theo's abrasiveness). I will admit, the projects do generally benefit from this unyielding approach, but it makes it a chore to request help, knowing that you'll likely be upbraided for asking questions. I also like that FreshRSS has better 3rd party app support (at least on Android).
