okay yeah FreshRSS's feature to replace RSS feed content with website contents via CSS selectors is a game changer

Alright, I've now set up FeedMe on Android and Reeder on iOS, pretty happy with the UI on both. The hardest part was showing the image title text on FeedMe, but it turns out to have a setting that just displays image titles in the feed

@noiob Oh man, that's my biggest gripe with the way some sites use RSS feeds. Especially when a site has subscriber content, but doesn't bother to have a separate full-content subscriber-only feed.

@jamesgecko yeah, seems like FreshRSS is designed to work around limitations like that, you can even send cookies and spoof user agents. It has a whole separate mode for scraping websites as well, in case they "forget" to provide an RSS/Atom feed
