So, the only niggle for Newsblur is the data part.

Just like Google Reader, you can download your OPML file (list of
subscriptions) at any time and move somewhere else.

But what about your comments/shared stories/saved stories/other things?

Looking around it appears that there isn't a "backup allz my dataz, plz"
button, but, perusing the API it seems like something could be "easily"
written to do such a thing:
https://www.newsblur.com/api

Now, getting that into your own newly setup self-hosted NewsBlur site?
Not sure. And NewsBlur wasn't made to be federated, I don't believe, so
it isn't like you'd be able to interact with others anymore (unless they
sign up to your install, of course).
