I have used FreshRSS before but I was always annoyed that some sites don’t provide RSS feeds and that even if they provide feeds they don’t provide the whole content through it and only a preview.

What do you recommend for the perfect RSS setup? What are you using? Which app are you using to read them?

      I have seen this before. I have no idea what it is and there doesn’t seem to be an explanation anywhere at all.

            Ok. This makes it trivial to do so since youtube RSS feeds are eithet nonexistent or unreliable.

                Congrats! My native youtube RSS feeds are mostly 404 or access forbidden, depending on the day, as are many others’.

        The RSS feed for websites missing it

        Thats it. First sentence on link. Generates an rss feed from a youtube channel or from a soundcloud user, etc

            How else are you going to use it? Ok they have an hosted instance, but that’s not great for privacy and will break as soon as it gets somewhat popular as the sites usually have scraping protections.

            You don’t have to self host it if you scroll down there is a list of public instances: https://rss-bridge.github.io/rss-bridge/General/Public_Hosts.html

            Reason to self host, some websites don’t like rss bridge because it’s a kind of adblock from their point of view, and they actively block the ip addresses of these instances. If you selfhost it, you can use these sites, because a single user instance won’t generate as much traffic than 1000 users, so they won’t notice your instance
