Asking the hive mind: Anyone out here has a good recommendation for a feed aggregator for archiving posts on other platforms? I'm currently, mostly trying an approach of keeping my stuff on a selfhosted weblog (running Bludit) and crossposting this everywhere else, more or less all along the
https://indieweb.org/POSSE pattern. However, it feels like Bludit is slowly reaching certain limits with the amount of posts and tags. Too, sometimes posting through Bludits web user interface is a tad clumsy. And I'm elsewhere too, handling stuff on different platforms like Friendica, Pixelfed or here. So, I'm very cautiously considering the opposite approach of keeping stuff on "external" platforms and just using RSS and some self-hosted "archive" where to keep together all of "my" stuff in case some of the external services goes down at some point. Requirements for that, generally, would be:
- Should be able to aggregate many RSS feeds and display them in a public view like a regular web page (unlike tt-rss or freshrss which just seem "personal" feed readers in the browser).
- Should be implemented in PHP and usable on a shared webhoster. I'm on all-inkl.com and I don't want or need a root server.
- Should be able to handle incoming image and text posts and store their full content locally (opposite to some wordpress plugins I found which just seem to render a display of a remote RSS feed in a widget or a static site).
- Should, ideally, have some customizing options to handle parsing and processing of the inbound feeds. This isn't strictly required but I think, for sure, I'll encounter situations where this turns out to be interesting.
Not sure whether something like this does even exist, the related indieweb.org page (
https://indieweb.org/PESOS) mainly lists projects that are either discontinued or haven't seen updates in quite a while. Any recommendations, thoughts, ... greatly welcome. (Also considered using something such as Friendica or Hubzilla for that purpose but have very mixed experiences running them on rootless shared webspace... .)
