Hi, mod here.

In the future, please avoid sharing links from news aggregators. Sharing from the original source helps community health by providing transparency, and allows others to avoid reposting the same article.

Hi, Mod here:

The community rules don’t allow posting complete article text. Please edit this post to one or two key paragraphs to avoid removal.

These rules help keep our community safe, legal, and usable for everyone.

I can’t attest to any as I don’t use PDFs this way, but here are a few links:

Stirling PDF

PdfDing

BentoPDF

All of these are self-hostable and FOSS. I’m not sure about NextCloud integration.

I think you may be thinking of LibreOffice

Yeah, it’s better if you can have the computer on all the time, but it only needs to be running when you access it.

I’m not that familiar with FreshRSS, but in general apps will only update at opening (not in the background) for most syncing operations. You may have to do more manual syncing than you would like.

It definitely works. Mastodon doesn’t have threaded conversations, so if it is complex, then it can become hard to follow.

If it’s a simple post/reply then it is not confusing at all.
