Hiya!

I’ve just setup FreshRSS and subscribed to a few feeds I like, and while FreshRSS is great for doing heavy lifting on the backend side of things, I’m not 100% pleased with the frontend side of things. Some articles are loading the full article, while others are loading half or a third, having me to either scroll a lot or click to open more. This left me wondering if there are any good clients that can connect to FreshRSS? I have Read You on Android, but I mostly consume my news on my PC/Laptop. Is it best to try to tweak FreshRSS or do you have any recommendations for frontends?

Lemmy know! 🌻

    Probably my wording that could have been a little better. I only meant that some of the articles loads completely full by default and others load only partially, but can be expanded by clicking “read remaining paragraphs”. I wish for it be like this for all the articles as some of the articles that load in full I’m not always interested in, and end up having to scroll through the whole thing.

    Hope that made more sense.

      What’s the feed you have issues with?
      Or is it with all feeds?

      None of my feeds have a read remaining paragraphs to expand the article in the FreshRSS UI.

      As I mentioned, this one sends the full article https://www.404media.co/rss/
      And this one has a partial article with a link to open the page in the site http://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index/

      I wish for it be like this for all the articles as some of the articles that load in full I’m not always interested in, and end up having to scroll through the whole thing

      To skip to the next article you can configure the shortcuts native to FreshRSS, I think the default ones are h for the next unread article and k for the previous article. (I think these are the defaults because I haven’t changed them and I see these in my config screen)
      For mobile I’m using the touch control extension in here https://github.com/langfeld/FreshRSS-extensions
