FreshRSS, i had it installed and setup with a fee feeds for over a year and only like this month has it become my daily read, i can get almost everything in there to just read through while I drink my coffee, sites I bookmarked but never go to can now come to me.
Also with 'five filters full text rss' to get all the images in the feed
Would you mind elaborating a bit? I've been looking into good rss solutions lately and blogs without a feed were where I got stuck. How do you use five filters? How do the two components work together?
Edit: Also, some sites WITH a feed like Pitchfork are next to useless when all you get is the headline.
Here's a short blog post that summarizes how to use Full-Text RSS with FreshRSS. It's a bit of a pain to add new feeds but it makes for a smooth experience afterwards.
Otherwise, you could always just use RSS clients that have the ability to fetch full articles, Read You on Android and Fluent Reader on desktop both can do this.
That plus a browser extension that finds the right rss feed for you like get rss feed url on firefox.
I copy the rss with the extension
Then I paste that into five filters
Use that to give it to fresh rss which will get me a nice looking post with images and text
Thanks. Do you host five filters? Do you pay for it?
Yeah i host five filters, fresh rss, and a mariadb container for fresh rss
I personally don't host the firefox extension I just found it recommend on reddit to get rss urls from sites that don't have a link
Which extension do you use?
I'm not the person you replied to, but they say in their comment they use Get RSS Feed URL.
RSSHub (selfhosted)
It has a button to quickly add an entry to your FreshRSS, very useful.
Love FreshRSS. It really is something that I didn't know I needed. I often switch RSS apps, and it allows for seemless transitions.
what do you mean you often switch apps ?
I like to switch RSS apps on the phone a lot because I can't stick with one, and none of them are perfect
What's the extension for? FreshRSS can fetch contents natively.
The extension is to get the rss link to paste into five filters
Five filters takes the link and gets all the images and all that then makes a new rss link that you give to fresh rss.
When I tried just fresh rss a lot of the sites I tried wouldn't get me images or it would be just the headline and I would have to click the link and go to the actual site to read the article
I'm still not sure that filter thing is necessary. FreshRSS can fetch content and images using the CSS selector of the website. You may want to check out the Advanced section in their documentation: https://freshrss.github.io/FreshRSS/en/users/04_Subscriptions.html#retrieve-a-truncated-feed-from-within-freshrss
Anyway, whatever works for you :)
Is it pretty easy to do? Does it give you a preview of what you'll get?
