I recently discovered CommaFeed and I am self-hosting it. It's somewhat similar to Google Reader in look and feel.

I've seen this one pop up recently as alternative to FreshRSS. While not as many features as FreshRSS, I like the direction CommaFeed is going. Have you tried FreshRSS and if so, how it compares?
I've been using FreshRSS for a couple years. While it was fine, I found CommaFeed's display view mode options a lot better. It's right there under the user menu dropdown and allows for easy toggling between Compact, Detailed or Expanded view modes without going into a configuration screen or switch pages. I know all of that is possible in FreshRSS using third-party community extensions. But I just find it easy to use and closely resembles from what I remember about Google Reader. Maybe because its new and a change to what I've been using.
