Simple RSS filter/forwarding?

Hello,

I’m looking for a way to curate RSS feeds and send them to a e-reader. I’m thinking of something a bit like this: (1) ingest the feeds on a self-hosted server with custom rules, and (2) pass them to the client as a new rss feed (the client being an old Pocketbook Touch HD3 e-reader, i.e. a potato that expects RSS/Atom feeds and nothing else).

I tried FreshRSS and Miniflux, and while they are cool projects, I did not find a way to expose simple RSS feeds. Their API is more complex, mainly compatible with Google Reader. It could be me, because I’m really a noob on all this and my reading of the doc certainly was not super thorough.
But I did not find the answer there and when I look for "RSS filter" on search engines I just stumble on AI-powered stuff. Is there such a thing as a simple RSS proxy app or is everything a database now?

A workaround could be to send the Miniflux feeds to Wallabag (Koreader on the pocketbook can connect to that) but I would much rather keep the RSS feeds separated from the manually fetched pages in Wallabag. Another way would be the Calibre "Fetch News" Feature that publishes epubs periodically based on RSS feeds, but it’s not continuous, and it has the same issue merging and adding noise to another library (my e-books).
