FreshRSS already has web scraping abilities, and can grab the entire story for truncated feeds almost all of the time, if you add the css container class to the settings for the feed. What does Morss do beyond this?
EDIT After looking, it seems as if it does save the step of looking to see what the CSS class is. But I don't like the fact that all my RSS feeds then go through and are dependent on one single third party. Seems to somewhat defeat the point of self hosting. I'll just stick with FreshRSS alone.
EDIT AGAIN I see now that it is open source, but I still don't see value beyond what FreshRSS can already do.
Thanks for this. I've been digging into RSS after I exited Reddit was considering self hosting because most of the services I found don't do what I want. What client do you use with your FreshRSS instance for Android?
Same setup as above and on android I use FeedMe. The Freshrss web app is also very good. ReadYou is still being developed but worth keeping an eye on.
Thanks for the reply. I got FreshRSS setup yesterday and found FeedMe as well. Seems to be working well and it has enough options for the interface to keep me happy. The list view is similar enough to my old Reddit Sync browsing experience that my muscle memory doesn't have to work too hard.
I'm glad you're liking it! It's been years since I tried FeedMe. Maybe it's time I gave it another look.
