One of my favorite self hosted services is https://github.com/johnwarne/upvote-rss since it allows me to get content from high traffic sites but in a very truncated and digestible way. Particularly, my favorite feature is how it can send only the N most popular posts each day (with a day lag, of course).

I’m looking for a more generic solution that does something like this but for arbitrary RSS feeds.

For example, if I want to subscribe to a super busy feed but I only want to get 2 posts randomly selected each day.

I’m totally willing to achieve this without a full blown extra proxy. If there are some RSS clients or a FreshRSS extension that can do something like that, for example.

Otherwise, I may just try to extend/fork upvote-rss’s functionality for this 😅

I'm looking for something similar. I did start a project for something more general but, incomplete project pile.
