A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I have copied the latest git revision c67b943aa894b90103c4752ac430958886b996b2 from https://gitlab.tt-rss.org/tt-rss/tt-rss to my gitea instance which is mirrored to https://gitlab.com/nodiscc/tt-rss and https://github.com/nodiscc/tt-rss.
I don't intend to make changes or bugfixes (it's working fine), but I will try to keep it compatible with the PHP version in Debian stable, since I've been using it for years and would really like to keep doing so.
Is freshrss the best alternative at this point?
It always has been.
I use and like it.
I didn't like it, as it didn't have the exact full article view mode I desired, but lots of people like it.
The loss of Google Reader is basically what taught me not to get too attached to services I can't host myself. I'm hosting an older version of TT-RSS (due to migration issues to newer versions), and will continue with that until it no longer works for me, and then I will probably move on to CommaFeed. I've already tested all the commonly self hosted RSS readers out there, and that's the one that fits my needs best, other than TT-RSS.
I really enjoy tt-rss. I self host it so i guess I'll keep using it until i find a replacement, but this is sad.
Kinda hope someone else picks up the work cause I have been using ttrss for well over 15 years.
i don't get why people use web services for rss, it can be done completely clientside, that's.. kind of the whole point of rss..
To keep it synchronized between devices
Try a good one such as Inoreader or NewsBlur, you'll never look back
In my case (not necessarily your case, of course), the cheapest selling-point has become that I already have a browser open for almost everything else, so that's one less thing to install and check in on. But it's also easier to keep up to date reading when individual computers have problems and usually has a nicer API for scripting, if you need that sort of thing.
The gas chamber guys? Good riddance
I no longer find it fun to maintain public-facing anything
I think the kids would say: "Mood."
The post is a bit low on details, but I strongly suspect this is a victim of AI scraping.
