With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already.

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

This post got me to try out selfoss but after it being pretty buggy and unable to fetch 50% of the feeds I was interested in, I looked elsewhere. I wanted to install Tiny Tiny RSS but the instructions weren't my thing. Finally, I settled on FreshRSS and I love it. All the feeds work. The only complaint I have is that, at least it seems, you need to manually add labels to each article and instead just put a feed under a category. I wish I could put feeds under any amount of labels or categories I want. Maybe there's an extension for it that I have not seen yet.

I switched to miniflux months ago and I'm pretty happy with it. Supports categories as well.

What I meant was assigning multiple tags (like "tech", "security", "foss", etc) automatically to posts in a feed instead of needing to manually assign them to each article. So if I then want to filter all posts with "security" and "foss" I could choose those two tags to get the filtered results. Can it do that?

No, there are no tags anything like that, just regular search.
