   Finally downloaded a RSS feed reader (using inoreader) to my phone after only using one on my desktop computer until now and it rules. It’s silly to be like “I can read articles on my phone. This is great!” but it is! I can just read what I want without missing anything because I didn’t check social media at the right time

     This presumes that you're interested in casually running a personal cloud, but...

     I use the News app on my Nextcloud server to subscribe to RSS feeds and then point all my readers at that.

     https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/news

     My one caveat is that it gets unhappy if you point it at extremely busy RSS feeds (like the main EuroNews firehose, for example), to the point where deleting the feeds required me to go in and manually edit the file where my feed list was defined.

     @MichaelKlamerus The issue I have is that I'd like one that can sync between devices. And it probably exists, I just haven't had the opportunity to investigate properly

     OwnCloud is the service that Nextcloud forked from many aeons ago, and that's an alternative (but doesn't have a dedicated mobile app for its RSS app, which Nextcloud does)

     But it does feel like a dedicate self-hosted RSS server ought to be a thing, doesn't it?

     @HauntedOwlbear @MichaelKlamerus See, I would be interested in that - I've just heard very polarising reviews of Nexfcloud, and it doesn't seem like there's a decent equivalent. Which I can kind of understand - it's a pretty complex piece of software.
     Wonder if there's a specific service for it. I wouldn't mind using a web-based reader on my PC, but I prefer having an app on mobile.
