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).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm not sure what Steady is, but it sounds like FreshRSS can do what you want. If you can read the articles on the website, then you should be able to use FreshRSS to scrape the site and create a feed from it. For content behind a login, I'm pretty sure FreshRSS can handle basic-auth or you can provide it cookies.
There's also KillTheNewsLetter which does what you want the other way, by just converting the emails into an RSS feed. It can be self-hosted, but I haven't tried it myself, though.
I forgot about KillTheNewsletter! That's pretty much what I'm looking for I think, thanks!
The articles are behind non-basic auth, the cookie possibility sounds interesting, but KTN sounds more straightforward for my use case. (Not on FreshRSS)
I use Inoreader as my RSS backend, they have that feature. They provide an email address, and everything that lands in that inbox pops up in my RSS feed. So I have a rule in my email inbox which forwards all their emails to the Inoreader address
That sounds pretty good! I can't be selfhosters apparently though.
