Hey #RSS gurus. I'm asking a serious question, and not in the form of a poll.
I self-host #FreshRSS. The whole point should be to click on the thumbnail / summary of an article and then read the full article without leaving the comfort of the feed reader. Right?
Why does the following happen with some feeds (see attachment)?
@Nead I also self host FreshRSS. I think it’s something to do with how the original webpage is set up. Some pages show in full, some not from the same source for me. I don’t know how to fix that.
I found @neil ‘s blog post helpful in setting the CSS selectors to get as much of the page as possible: https://neilzone.co.uk/2024/05/using-css-selectors-in-freshrss-to-automatically-retrieve-the-full-text-of-partial-text-rss-feeds/

This is my view, and yes, I work around it,, but some people disagree, and don't want to "lose" the traffic / clicks to their website (and the opportunity to display advertising / deploy trackers...) inherent in full-text RSS.
