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.

Will definitely check out that app. I’ve used Feedly so far, but was pretty amazed by FreshRSS’ PWA.

What hashtags in particular are you subscribed to?

#android #fediverse #homeassistant for my interests - and #introduction to make sure that I see and boost plenty of newcomers to get them a good start on the fediverse. It’s introduction in particular that requires a very aggressive purge policy! I only keep I think 50 introduction posts across 3 days, but even then - my FreshRSS is typically 1200 articles on a daily basis.

Was going to say — that looks like it would include a lot of noise. Thank you for your response!
