Agreed! I went looking for a self-hosted RSS, land on FreshRSS, and it was amazingly easy to set up and run and use...

I use FreshRSS as the backbend for my clients, but I hate its interface for actually reading.

If I were reading on the web, I'd switch back to Miniflux

I really like Feeder.

I'm yet to find a web-based RSS reader that's not terrible. NewsFlash for Linux and NetNewsWire for Mac are the best I've seen but both are local. They both also support syncing to a FreshRSS server but I've never had success.

FreshRSS has a horrendous interface, IMO. Can be fixed but it is way way more complicated than it should be.

Currently I'm running Miniflux but it doesn't seem to be able to refresh itself or sort articles chronologically.

Edit: MiniFlux seems to have fixed itself somehow. I'm using FluxNews on Android. But it doesn't support "reader" mode, which I find to be a vital part of any RSS service.
