Unless you already have it, to be honest
You’re already pretty crazy so, maybe Piped or YouTube Local
Stick to local stuff, no need to open ports at all. I got myself a Raspberry Pi and I just have it next to my router.
Once I felt like using it outside my network, instead of opening ports and doing complicated stuff that didn’t work cuz I am behind a Nat, I just used Tailscale instead, it’s a private VPN that is free for a limited amount of devices (like 10 or more I think so it’s fine for you and family). It’s the best easiest thing ever
FreshRSS is what I use and I can create my own feeds using X path, it’s kinda great but too much to explain. I wrote a blog about it.

yeah but I kinda dislike cloudflare. Tailscale is based on wireguard which is cool
Check out tailscale, the best tool ever to access a server without opening ports or doing hard stuff
Hmm. AntennaPod supports syncing with Next loud via a Gpodder’s API, if each kid gets its own next loud account it should work fine
Well you can install it locally and get the web interface via localhost, but if it’s a proper server you can access the news from your sources from anywhere and you can also use 3rd party apps in your phone to get a different interface via the API
FreshRSS, news and websites fetched your way. You can even create feeds for websites that don’t provide one
To be honest you can get Cave Story for free already since it’s open source and in many distro repos. Also I think the publishers kinda ripped off the original creator so the guy who actually put the work making this masterpiece isn’t getting anything
