    I use Feeder on android, which just lives on my phone instead of on my server.

    Would you say there are distinct advantages to self hosting an RSS reader? Most of the time when im browsing sites and reading it’s on my phone, not my desktop.

      I’m at my laptop all day for work so I use it on my laptop, desktop, and phone so syncing is important. Since it support Google reader api, there are a ton of different clients for it too.

      I’ve also set my wife up with her own account and it makes sharing articles and feeds with her easy.

      I’m a big self hoster and already have an environment set up for it. I don’t know if it is worth setting up servers and vpns and security just for rss.

      You can do both. FreshRSS for example allows you to subscribe to it like you would subscribe to any RSS feed
