I am really happy with miniflux. It supports mobile and has good keyboard navigation support on Desktop. It’s also runs really smooth on my rather low powered homeserver (rpi 2b).
For push notifications you can use a simple script with ntfy. For example miniflux-ntfy.
Tbh being open mostly works out for me.
There have been some bad situations and there are definitely persons where I am afraid to open up too much and therefore don’t do it.
But I like to give people an “Vertrauensvorschuss” (Not sure how to say this in English). Basically I am giving them my trust until they prove not worth it it.
Of course this depends on whether you can afford this or not.
But overall I feel like this improved my relationship with people.
