This is a honest question. I have two RSS services hosted on my server, and I don’t see the point. RSS is by nature distributed, and subscribing to my own server just makes the source of all news being the same. What is the advantage? What do people use it for?
I used to pay Inoreader for the premium features they offer, but now I get them for free with FreshRss on my server. It’s not exposed to the world but I can wireguard in when I need. Works great, basically maintenance free.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I was an Inoreader user too, but I discovered Miniflux and cannot be happier 😉
It’s crazy how they increased the prices each and every year. I switched to FreshRSS too. Amazing software
Yah, they’re a good company and have a very good product, but I know how to do this on my own, thanks to the good folks at FreshRss, so…
