https://freshrss.org I self-host it

It's the best option if you use multiple devices and have the ability to self-host IMO.

i used to think this until i tried commafeed. the webapp is so nice i never bother with a client

I use feed2mail, which is a Python program that turns RSS Feeds into Maildir emails. I have my own patchset on top to address some issues. https://hg.sr.ht/~mmatalka/feed2mail/rev/mmatalka-patchset

Back in the day I used r2e, which was an old python scrip for the same purpose.

I actually removed it primarily because it was the last package on my system at the time to need python, and removing it let me purge a whole bunch of python packages and save a lot of space!

These days I still read feeds via RSS, via a static golang binary. It lets me do filtering, and similar things:

I have been using RSS since early 2000s and currently I am settled on Feedly. > Either the built-in web support is poor or it stops fetching the feeds or renders then poorly. I guess I am good with Feedly, and Google Reader and everything before that, is because I dont use the RSS Reader to read the content. I am only using RSS as News Headline [1]. And then will either Command Click, Right Click Open New Tab, Simply…

i used to use feedly, as they were first out the gate after google reader shut down (word on the street was they had a headsup), but they jacked the pricing and introduced a bunch of needless extra features that i couldn’t turn off, so now i use inoreader. theoldreader is also good

>but they jacked the pricing and introduced a bunch of needless extra features that i couldn’t turn off,

I dont use anything other than the basic and I use it for free. Just curious What features are you looking for?

Reading this thread it seems everyone uses RSS so differently I wish we could start another HN thread on this topic.

Inoreader FTW!!! Generous free tier and no nonsense UX. Can't say enough good things about it.

I just checked them up and 150 RSS feeds on free account isn't enough for my usage.

If they have been around for this long and the limit was the same over the years it is likely the reason why I passed them when switching from Google Reader.

Self-hosted FreshRSS, NetNewsWire on Mac, Fluent reader on linux/windows/ios. Any reader compatible with Google Reader API works with FreshRSS, and Fluent was the nicest UI I've seen (hasn't been updated recently, but I don't need new features).
