Using #RSS helps you control what you read, intentionally and algorithm-free. 🧹

No wonder the RSS reader #NextcloudNews is one of the more popular Nextcloud apps!

In his article on Medium, Cory Doctorow explains why using RSS is great:

“The one thing you can choose to do that will make your internet life better and make the internet better for everyone else, too.”

@kuketzblog Wie genial, genau dieses Problem hat mich die ganze Zeit genervt. Danke!

"Die Einstellung »Maximale Anzahl an gelesenen Artikeln pro Feed« habe ich auf meiner Instanz auf 500 erhöht. Hintergrund ist ein bekanntes Problem der News App: Wenn dieser Wert zu niedrig angesetzt ist, kann es vorkommen, dass bereits gelesene Artikel nach einiger Zeit erneut als ungelesen erscheinen."

@AgaveInMyAss #nextcloudnews Let's me keep all of my RSS feeds (non-podcasts) synced between my devices. I already run nextcloud anyway, so I don't have to stand up another service .

Lange Jahre war ich ein treuer Nutzer von Feedly. Ich habe die Plattform nicht nur täglich genutzt, sondern auch für die Pro-Version bezahlt. Doch in den letzten Monaten musste ich feststellen, dass eine meiner wichtigsten Funktionen – das Filtern von Inhalten – hinter eine teurere Paywall verschoben wurde. Wer Filter nutzen möchte, muss nun mindestens den Pro+-Account für fast 13 […]

I used to run Miniflux and it was OK, if a bit minimalist. These days I prefer #NextcloudNews, although obviously that requires a #Nextcloud instance.

Has someone figured out a way to connect my #NextCloudNews with #Thunderbird? (I know I can just export the #OPML, but I'd like to have read status synchronised)

@midtsveen Was a user and plugin developer for #TinyTinyRSS. Now my goto RSS client is #nextcloudnews.

I wasn't happy with how the #NextCloudNews Android app performed on my #Furilabs #FLX1, so I thought about writing a simple GTK4 Linux application for NextCloud News in Rust.

Turns out #NewsFlash already has NextCloud News support and also perfectly adapts to phones. There are some performance issues, but looks like I now have to find a different project to finally dust off my programming skills.

Was seriously looking for a replacement for Nextcloud News given it hadn't been touched in ages and had a bunch of UI bugs that made it nearly unusable for me.

And they went and dropped a new versions that fixes everything!

lmao there is even an option in the settings "mark as read while scrolling" 😑

it looks to me like having 0 items as unread is some kind of goal?

please, I'm the user, I use the app the way I want, and I don't want to mark items as read when I haven't read them 😆 this is clearly a design issue 😆

Makes me feel like I'm using software that is meant for Apple users, where there is ONE WAY to use it and doing things in a different way will get you punished 😂
