I've used it every day for years... Anyone run an instance of http://www.feedafever.com? How is it?

I've been using this on and off for the past few months. Frankly, I prefer Google Reader to Fever, but I strongly prefer Fever to any of the other feed readers I've tried. I especially like that I can count on the server staying up and the service not shutting down.
I use Fever full time. It's great, apart from the lack of native apps. That's the only thing that makes me resent it sometime. Their claims are true, too, it really does help cut back the noise and stops you reading the same story over and over. It's kind of nice to know that I own it, too, so nobody can just take it away.
Unless you mean 'native app made by Fever', Reeder and Sunstroke [2] are good iOS apps with Fever support.

Been running Fever exclusively for last 3 months when I heard whispers of Google Reader heading for the chopping block. I don't "get" the 'kindle/sparks/etc' lingo it uses, but as a basic Reader replacement AND self-hosted option, i love it. It has keyboard shortcuts and nearly all the other features you'd want.
I really like Fever. It imports and exports OPML, so it was easy move from NetNewsWire to Fever and back to other feed apps and backups. The Fever's mobile view works very nicely. Easy to install and it automatically updates itself.
I'd really love to be able to play with this before I drop $30 on it. It's not an unsubstantial amount of money to drop on a self-hosted webapp.
I know Shaun has a great reputation, and I've played his games, but this is exactly how I feel. Wish I could play with it a little bit before I press that "Buy" button.
