Hi there, I’m quite new to this digital hygiene thing. I try to avoid apps on my phone that tracks useless data for their initial purpose. How do you guys read news ? Would love a "respectful" app that doesn’t track too much data, but I’m open to any solution. Would like to browse international and french news.

I've never looked into RSS feeds, is it necessary to host your own? Can't he just use NetNewsWire and subscribe to a public RSS?

Hosting a server doesn't seem like a proper option for someone that is looking for a news app for their phone

NetNewsWire supports multiple methods for accounts -- local, various cloud services, and self-hosted. And it is free. I highly recommend someone interested in RSS check the app out and subscribe to a few feeds.

Looking for some starter feeds to sub? Check out Feedspot's RSS directory.

Hosting your own FreshRSS instance is totally optional, and is absolutely a proper option for someone privacy-focused. It doesn't have to be a big, scary monster -- simple options exist, e.g., using fly.io to host FreshRSS, as someone wrote about on this blog.
