I see you getting downvoted for a correct answer.

IP addresses are like street addresses. I can live at 10 High Street in London, you can live at 10 High Street in Ohio. Those are not the same address right? Folk confusing public and private ip addresses.

adam_y , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in Which RSS aggregator do you use? I cannot seem to find one that works for me.

Seconded. I keep trying others. I tried feedly for a while. I also tried readyou (which I still keep on my phone)... But nothing comes as close to inoreader for doing what I want.

Also, I've learnt how to aggregate other feeds into a single feed to pass them into it to get around the 150 limit. Not ideal, but I'm cheap.
