Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Feeds Fun hard to install?

Feeds Fun is easy to install using Docker Compose. Clone the repo, adjust optional env vars (like database type), and run the compose command. SQLite is default, so no extra database setup is needed for basic use—great for beginners.

Yes! It offers core feed reading features like folder organization and offline access, but with full self-hosting control. Unlike Feedly, there are no ads or paid tiers, though it lacks Feedly’s collaborative tools or AI suggestions.

Feeds Fun is 100% free and open source. All features are available without any cost—you only pay for your own server/hosting if you deploy it online.
