#63I self host freshrss (https://www.freshrss.org/), super easy to set up via docker and it doesn't required some over provisioned dependency setup (DB servers, etc...). It has nice/familiar keyboard shortcuts and a clean and fast interface. My only complaint is that the cloudflare-ifiation (aka enshittification) that is slowly ruining and rotting the internet prevents the fetching of RSS feeds from some news sites from your presumably affordable non hyperscaler VPS instance.
When using mobile I use https://capyreader.com/ which has first class intigration with freshrss; meaning you can add/remove/view feeds via the app and have the changes sync with freshrss. Also, probably my favorite feature of capy reader, is that when you want to view the content of an rss article that is only a summary or headline (because few people publish the full content of their articles in the rss feed anymore), you can just press a button and it will fetch it for you and display it in the reader without sending you to a browser. So much happier and more accurately informed since moving back to RSS where I can choose what I want to see vs having it filtered/fed to me via some biased algorithm.

#65I use my own RSS reader [0]
Recently I also extracted web reading into a separate library which should make writing new projects like RSS readers easier [1]

Freshrss is a great choice I think.
I use the freshrss web interface on my phone, that works quite well I feel. The app might not be necessary.
BTW, Freshrss also has a function to fetch the full article content directly. I think it's not especially clever, just uses a selector, but worked well for me for the one or two feeds where I enabled it.

#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
But being PHP means there is a lot of moving parts. Miniflux is a lot easier to maintain…
Not a lot to worry with the Docker container.
Even without a container it's pretty easy to run PHP with a HTTP server like Caddy, there's no need for any extra configuration aside from passing the required directives in the server config for your setup. You can find many examples in the docs.

#68TT-RSS, I do not like it much, but it's the more apt ready-made to quickly skim many posts from many feeds...

#70After Google Reader was shut down, I found TTRSS and use it since then.
It works and there are some great extensions like FeedIron available to process RSS feeds before the will integrated into the UI
