I see a lot of options for self-hosting RSS subscriptions and I don’t actually understand what they are for. The very nature of RSS is that it tracks and connects to online content. It seems like having a home server track and download the content just so that you can download it on another device from your server instead of the original servers a bit redundant. Also, it seems like the clients are more limited, since it has ro connect to your personal host, as opposed to the many RSS readers available.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I genuinely don’t get it. What am I missing?

    which blogs do you follow over on substack? ive never had the issue of feeling like a lot of ttrpg people are there, most people i follow are most active on their own sites (eg troypress, jeremy strandberg) or, tragically, on discord.
