Verdict	Skip	Depends

Support quality	Prickly developer; project now ended	Active volunteers, solved threads, no SLAs
Public sentiment	Users long praised its flexibility, but the community is now leaving for FreshRSS after the November 2025 shutdown.¹⁰	Users praise the free self-hosting mission while reporting steep learning curves and volunteer-dependent support.¹⁶
