Feedly vs. Miniflux

I've been using Miniflux (self hosted RSS reader) for 1 or 2 weeks now, comparing it against my experience with Feedly. Overall it's been a great experience and I really like Miniflux. I've been reading my feeds exclusively in Miniflux but checking Feedly to see if anything has been missed. Happy to report that I haven't missed anything!

The only thing that didn't work was importing CBC Ottawa & CBC Sudbury feeds; those don't work the way they were entered in Feedly. But I'm confident enough in Miniflux that I'm going to drop all my feeds except for CBC from Feedly.

Update: I don't usually update these short posts, but monocyte forwarded me a Github issue that resolved the CBC feed issue for me - apparently the Miniflux User Agent is blocked, and entering curl in the UA field fixes it. Now I have all my feeds!
