What's the self-hosted open source alternative that's actually good? I've been using Inoreader because the UI for any alternative is mediocre. I'd like it to work on web and Android, sync back and forth properly, and look nice (sidebar, keyboard shortcuts, etc) and nothing else appears to provide this. Plus, Inoreader allows you to assign a single feed to multiple folders (tag style) which many other readers don't allow.

I've been using FreshRSS for a while and I've been rather pleased with it. It's browser UI is pretty good and a good number of mobile RSS apps support it.

I use Newsblur, it’s open source and you can self host, but for the price of the service, I am happy to pay. There are apps for most every platform. https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur

  >you can self host You can but do you? I use the Newsblur too, paying for it too but reading around reddit self-hosting is incredibly complicated and then you also need to build and deploy your own mobile apps too

Miniflux has good integrations and third party UIs that look great. But I'm fine with the default UI themes. Selfhost or pay $15/year to use the flagship hosted instance. https://miniflux.app/docs/index.html https://miniflux.app/docs/index.html

FreshRSS, works well directly from the browser, desktop or mobile. What I like about it is that you can gradually work your unread list: if you're in a specific feed and mark it as read it switches to the next feed only with unread items. If you do it from a category it switches to the next category. I find it helps a lot going quickly through a mountain of new unread items. Not saying others don't do it, but this one does, so I'm keeping it.

I've been using commafeed for a few months now. The UI is closest thing to GReader I've seen. It's still a bit light on features compared to other more older and popular self-hosted RSS reader options. But it works well and gets frequent updates. https://www.commafeed.com https://www.commafeed.com
