Ask me about pigeons!
I use Miniflux and I’ve actually had luck just putting the channel url like youtube[.]com/channel/CHANNEL_NAME_HERE and the rss feed populates from there!
Glad it helped! Happy reading!
Oh one suggestion for external access that I have is Tailscale – it’s a dead simple wireguard VPN. You don’t need to do any kind of port forwarding or configuration, you literally just install the binary and run it. It even has support for custom domains so if you have a website, you could set your jellyfin server as a tailscale only subdomain. 10/10 recommend
No worries at all! So I use Miniflux as my RSS reader but there TONS of different ones – some open source, some freemium, some premium and closed source. Even VLC and Thunderbird can be used for keeping track of RSS feeds! For that front, I’d just search and give a couple a try – find which one suits your needs best. I used FreshRSS before making the switch to Miniflux but there are hosted options like Feedly.
In terms of finding things to read via RSS, you’ve got a ton of options there too! There’s a lot of open RSS feeds out there that just aren’t advertised. A few that I have are:
The one big problem with RSS is that there really isn’t a good way to find other RSS feeds – or at least I haven’t found a good way, ha! Typically, I’ll get linked to a site from hackernews, lobsters, here, wherever. If I like their stuff, I’ll just paste their URL into Miniflux to see if they have an RSS feed and subscribe from there. I really wish that there was a recommendation list of good rss feeds but honestly, sometimes the best way is word of mouth? Hope this helps!
Edit: Put brackets around the youtube link so that it doesn’t turn into an actual link
I honestly love having all my stuff self-hosted – lemmy is one of maybe three websites that I actually visit rather than having an rss feed send me the info. If anyone is curious, I’m more than happy to go into my setup a bit further but here’s the tl;dr on it:
All of this runs on an Intel NUC that isn’t anything super heavy and you don’t really have to do anything big or complicated like this either – just find a thread that looks interesting and pull on it, rinse, and repeat!
Yeah, I would still be using mullvad if they hadn’t removed port forwarding – it’s too damn bad but I get why they needed it. Switched to Proton but I imagine they’ll run into the same issue down the road and will need to find a more permanent solution.
