Is self-hosting on personal computer practical? (lemdro.id)

I’m thinking about running FreshRSS on my local Linux PC, but my computer isn’t on all the time.

Basically all I want is to have read/unread status synced between my PC and other 2 phones. Could I have that? Most of time my PC would be off and I will be reading articles on phone, would the read status be synced to PC once it's on?

Agree here too. FreshRSS is an RSS aggregator, basically a self-hosted GReader, which means it fetches the item contents and syncs the read status across clients. That is the HUGE advantage of using it instead of just adding the feeds directly to your client in your device.

Other FreshRSS features I love are the option to load full content of item that only share excerpts, and the option to use CSS selectors to remove content you don’t want (like embedded ads).
