news

Nextcloud News works just fine, is free, is as biased as the feeds you configure and no more, does not (yet...) introduce/intrude LLM slop, is free software (beer/freedom) and has been around for a long long time. You can configure it any way you want, the default update interval is 5 minutes which should be enough for even the most FOMO-affected 'news' junkie. Of course the actual updates depend on the RSS sources but if you configure a number of active feeds you'll get updates every few minutes. https://github.com/nextcloud/news

Files are files so you can download them to your computer and upload them to the new provider. Unfortunately I am not aware of any direct provider-to-provider sync. Application data depends on the app. For example, Notes [0] save your notes as Markdown files so you can move them (along with your files) wherever you want. However, News [1] don't and don't have export/import features at the moment either [2]. Nextcloud as a file storage solution and a non-collaborative office suite is great, but I cannot recommend its apps the same way. They are very convenient to install, but the quality varies a lot in my opinion so evaluate before you adopt.

It supports it, it's pretty hit-or-miss though. You need to right-click on the feed in the web interface → "full text". The library it uses is a port of Mozilla's "reader mode" (readability.js) feature in Firefox: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/pull/563

One of the first things I do when I test aggregator sites like this one is to look for the RSS feed. I may have missed something but I did not find one here - could that be added? It would make it much easier to integrate into my normal 'news flow' which is more or less entirely built around RSS feeds presented through Nextcloud News [1]. I can scrape sites which do not provide their own feed but that is tedious and just increases the load on those sites. [1] https://github.com/nextcloud/news

I agree it isn't perfect, and like most open APIs, some will do the lazy thing. Thanks for the numbers. Just a heads up: a single misbehaving implementation can cause a huge spike in traffic, so I suggest you de-duplicate before computing stats. IIRC, low-tech magazine blocked the Nextcloud News User Agent. They're not the only ones: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/issues/2079

I have contacted next cloud 'News' plugin developer https://github.com/nextcloud/news/discussions/2066 to request automated call to archive.org. I have received a response: I don't think archive.org would be very happy if every nextcloud/news install would request they store the CNN frontpage every hour for example. I think this is better suited in feed creation software since that would know exactly when a feed is updated.

Previously I used Nextcloud News and enjoyed it, but recent versions require 64-bit PHP [1], which I didn’t have on the Raspberry Pi. Never did figure out why this requirement was imposed just for the News app. [1] https://github.com/nextcloud/news/issues/1423

I'm using Nextcloud already and that has an officially supported RSS daemon app[1]. I mainly use it with this really good Android client[2] (that's on F-Droid) that supports connecting to it (and Miniflux it appears, which I noticed a bunch of mentions in this thread of). Probably worth mentioning too since this is HN, of the really nice hnrss[3], which I use for comment notifications in RSS.

Some RSS readers implement something similar. I currently use nextcloud news, that does this: https://github.com/nextcloud/news/pull/563 Basically, for feeds where I have "full text" enabled, it fetches the article page with mozilla's "reader mode" implementation and extracts the full text. It isn't really usable with aggregators such as planet kde/gnome, though.

I'm using Nextcloud RSS aggregator and really like it. https://github.com/nextcloud/news

I've partly figured out the answer to my question. You can self-host a backend such as Nextcloud News, TT-RSS, FreshRSS. Your client then needs to sync two-way with such a backend. Using Newsboat (a TUI RSS reader) as standard, I'd say the following backends are applicable: urls-source (parameters: <source>; default value: "local") This configuration command sets the source where URLs shall be retrieved from. By default, this is ~/.newsboat/urls. Alternatively, you can set it to opml, which enables newsboat's OPML online subscription mode, to ttrss which enables newsboat's Tiny Tiny RSS support, to oldreader, which enables newsboat's The Old Reader support, to newsblur, which enables NewsBlur support, or feedhq for FeedHQ support, or ocnews for ownCloud News support, or inoreader

Add the HN RSS feed to a feed reader, use it to skim the subjects (HN doesn't put anything but the subject line in the feed) and only open those subjects which are of interest. Never hit the main page. This does two things: 1: it allows you to only look at those subjects which are of interest, either through the comments or by opening the page link without seeing the comments 2: it somewhat protects you from the effects of the HN echo chamber/popularity contest in that it shows you everything which made it to HN, no matter whether it was directly pushed off the front page due to flagging/downvoting/overactive moderation. I'm using the Nextcloud [1] News app [2] as a feed reader, there are others but this one works well and handles large volumes without problems.

Google shutting down Reader 'killed' RSS and made people move to Twitter? You might want to look outside the cage a bit, the world is a lot bigger. Neither Google Reader nor Twitter 'killed' RSS (a syndication protocol, not a hosted service). I never used Google Reader nor Twitter but RSS has seen plenty of use here, from following commits to projects to simply following news sources. I currently use the News reader [1] for Nextcloud, sometimes in combination with one of the Android apps compatible with the former. Works fine, no Google nor Twitter needed, no spurious censorship, no centralised data mining. [1] https://github.com/nextcloud/news

Nextcloud [1] with the News [2] app. Feed it whatever RSS/Atom feeds you want - which can include Google News feeds - and let it rip. You can read the feeds in a browser or in one of the compatible apps [3] (14 of them are listed here, there might be others).
