It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.

    I self host FreshRSS and among the many sites I subscribe to, I also subscribe to quite a few hashtags on Mastodon which I’m aware isn’t highly publicised so not everyone knows you can do that.

    If someone reads this comment that didn’t know you could do that -

    Instance/tags/hashtag.rss

    Eg:

    https://mastodon.social/tags/introduction.rss

    You are welcome.

    (Set your purge limits aggressively, because despite people suggesting otherwise, you will very quickly have thousands of unread articles to trawl through)

      Wow, your comment took me down a rabbit hole. I now too self-host FreshRSS on my NAS using Docker. And, oh boy, this is so good!

        Excellent! If you looking for an Android app - although the PWA is pretty good too, Readrops is what I use, because it supports the GoogleReader API that FreshRSS exposes.
