Do you just use podcasts on your phone? If you have an Android phone, AntennaPod, while not self-hosted, works very well and is FOSS. There are other options to “self-host podcasts” to varying degrees:
PodHoarder: mentioned in another comment, which could be piped into AntennaPod, but I find that a bit redundant for me
AudioBookshelf: a fantastic self-hosted audiobook server, and an okay podcast server, but is focused around streaming from your server to your listening device, and I prefer to download on wifi to listen later (it was pretty clunky for that workflow).
GPodderSync: barely supported at this point and missing too many features to be useful in my opinion, but a neat backend for AntennaPod and other players to sync to some degree.
Bonus: the creators of AntennaPod and other FOSS podcasting software are working on a replacement for GPodderSync here: https://github.com/OpenPodcastAPI
EDIT: for RSS in general, I use FreshRSS, which uses the g-reader API to sync across multiple apps. It’s awesome.
Lol no seriously, what’s your goal here? Self-hosting a server seems entirely unnecessary.
If you want to host an RSS server, FreshRSS is easy to set up if you know how to do Docker stuff. Then, you could connect it to a podcast app on your phone. But all that seems very complicated when you could just install AntennaPod (which is open source), subscribe to a podcast’s official RSS feed, and turn on notifications for that podcast. Adding an RSS server between your listening device and the original RSS server is unnecessary IMO, unless you have a use case that I’m not understanding.
I didn’t know about antenna pod, and I assumed you were just being mean.
Why rss self hosting and seemingly complicated? I thought push notifications needed a back end of some kind. I didn’t think that was possible with just a podcast app
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

If you’re just looking for RSS -> Push take a look at feedpushr
I use it with gotify without too many issues.
I’m interested in seeing what you come up with.
Does something like podHoarder fit the bill?
Why do you need to self-host a dedicated server? Just put AntennaPod on your phone.
