Got the suggestion from a comment yesterday (I’ll link when I find it) and I’d been using FreshRSS on it’s own for a long time. Morss is a godsend for feeds that like to give you only the headline. It’s also especially awesome for the Hackernews and Lobsters feeds because it will expand the posted links for you which I appreciate a great deal. Hosting it takes like 3 seconds and it’s so worth it.
I’ve been using fivefilters for a long time and decided to give this a shot. It seems to do a decent job without some of the advanced options (ie: choosing # of items in the feed). I can’t really say which one would be a better option with my limited test. Hopefully someone else who has used both can chime in.
