Hello all, I am looking to start getting back into RSS feeds but nothing Ive found so far matches all of my requirements so i was going to see if you guys had any advice.
My requirements are:
- Self hosted (preferably with an official docker container)
- I should be able to view it in the web, as well as with an Android app but it doesn’t have to be a first party app
- It has to look nice and modern, preferably with a dark mode option
Anything you guys know of that would meet all three of those things?
Currently my plan is to run FreshRSS as my aggregator and FeedMe or Focus Reader on Android. I don’t really have any plans for web viewers though

FreshRSS or TinyRSS
I like Miniflux.
Miniflux for me as well, I find the progressive web app for mobile has the best color scheme for my eyes
I use Tiny Tiny RSS (https://tt-rss.org/) on desktop, and while they have an official mobile app, I’ve been enjoying Read You on Android
I highly recommend trying CapyReader for mobile, it is much snappier!
Thank you for the suggestion! I’ve been trying it out for a few days now and it is my new favorite app in terms of design. I’m having a strange problem where it keeps logging me out every couple days, but other than that I love it
Glad to hear!
And the developer is quite responsive, open up a GitHub issue with the details and I’m confident it’ll get sorted out.

Most people go with either FreshRSS or Miniflux but there’s lots of options to choose from.
Freshrss and capyreader here. Best combo I found after a long time.
I second FreshRSS, but I use Readrops as Android client. Nothing beats the normal FreshRSS mobile experience though. I haven’t tried Capyreader yet, but I’m gonna check it right now. Update: FreshRSS and Capy Reader it is. I’m impressed with how intuitive and customizable CR is. Thanks for the tip!
I will preface this with I only use it’s web interface so I’m unsure of an app and you can judge from the image on their site if it is modern enough for you. I’d describe it as simple overall but it does have dark themes.
I’ve overall had a good experience with freshrss and their docker container https://hub.docker.com/r/freshrss/freshrss.
I use freshrss and fluent reader as android client app
Not exactly what you asked, but if you’re gonna read from Android, I highly suggest CapyReader.
I’m happy with FeedBro (browser extension), very customizable.
I like feedbro too. Haven’t found a standalone selfhosted solution that has the same degree of customization.
Freshrss and Capy Reader for android app.
I’m trying out freshrss right now and don’t like it. Possibly my issues stem from user error, but, I can’t figure out how to automatically hide articles based on keywords, adding extensions is a pain, and the ui feels large and very in-the-way. By default it truncates article titles, which I find absolutely baffling.
