I'm sad that a basic description of what RSS consists of makes it onto HN. I still upvoted to help educate the kids :/

FYI FreshRSS is fairly trivial to self-host, and is a really nice option for an RSS reader app.

Preferential to Miniflux myself, but any RSS reader is better than none.

I tried both, but Miniflux was like 15% _too_ bare-bones for me.

FreshRSS hit the sweet spot for me, combined with NetNewsWire as a mobile UI

Yeah, even as a desktop UI NetNewsWire is great. FreshRSS rocks

NetNewsWire is beginning to choke for me because I have a large number of feeds. I was using it today and when I pressed Alt-K to "mark all as read", it beachballed on me and I had to force quit. This has been happening more often recently as I've added more feeds.
