Nextcloud [1] News [2] running on 'the server under the stairs' here at the farm. There's a few 'apps' which can be used in combination with it but I no longer use these since the web interface offers better performance.

News on my Nextcloud server, it's kind of buggy but having the sync between devices is really valuable. Before that it was Thunderbird.

What bugs are you seeing with NC News? I use it as well, mostly without problems. The recent introduction of the sync interval setting led to some odd sorting problems in the feed but that is easily solved by setting the interval to the old value of 300 seconds. For the rest it generally 'just works'.

Thunderbird. Yes, the e-mail client. Adding a new feed is neither user friendly, nor obvious, but it's nice to not need an extra program to read feeds.

I also use Thunderbird for both RSS and email.

It is perfectly acceptable to me that neither functionality is easy to work with, because in return I get all my non-instant messaging in just one application.

I'd probably really like it if it was possible to interact with WhatsApp and possibly Slack inside Thunderbird as well.
