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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Browse FreshRSS like YouTube: "Youlag Theme for FreshRSS" (lemmy.world)

"Youlag Theme for FreshRSS" provides a video-focused browsing experience for your RSS subscriptions. It tries to provide a similar experience to YouTube, primarily through its layout using CSS, but also a little bit of Javascript.

Git repo for more details: https://github.com/civilblur/youlag

In case you're not aware, "FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS feed aggregator".

The idea is that you subscribe to content creators through YouTube's RSS feed https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={id_goes_here}, then browse, watch, save to playlist ("label"), right within FreshRSS.

There's also third-party extension for FreshRSS that provides the ability to use Invidious, but as we all know, the public instances are unfortunately struggling quite a bit as of writing.

pretty cool, i want to encourage this purely in the interest of building up a community of more interesting themes. that part of freshrss is so bland.

Hopefully this will spark some interest in that!

Does it apply it to all feeds? Or can it detect what feeds are actually Youtube ones?

[–] lent9004@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It applies the theme across the entire instance!

I believe it could be done however, but it's likely more suitable as an extension, opposed to a "theme" that relies on client-side css/js. I haven't explored the documentations for extensions as I intended this to be a "quick" solution to get a youtube-like experience.
