Miniflux like so many supports the Fever API which means I can use almost any RSS app on the platform I need it on. I also wrote a small sidekick for Miniflux that I can use to filter posts I don't like (Sponsored posts etc.): https://github.com/dewey/miniflux-sidekick
The feeds are predefined (curated), but the articles are sorted by Facebook engagement.
I'm a sucker for mindlessly checking feeds, so I only poll feeds every few hours to avoid a drip-drip of new posts throughout the day. I do this with a cron job (now a systemd service). This job also converts RSS and ATOM to maildir, since that's all mu4e supports.
It turns out there are loads of programs for polling+downloading+caching+converting news feeds, but I couldn't find any that just convert; so I made my own by stripping down one of those existing projects ( http://chriswarbo.net/git/feed2maildir ).
https://www.inoreader.com - suppose the best replacement after Google reader death ;(
Used TheOldReader.com when Google killed Reader, then switched to inoreader. Haven't looked back (even though I'm using the free version still).
edit: Adding that I find the android app to be of excellent quality.
http://www.bazqux.com/ - I paid for a lifetime subscription a couple years ago and never looked back. The interface is great is both desktop and mobile, since it’s online everything is kept in sync across devices and I can configure the interface to my liking. I tried many RSS readers and nothing came close.
News on my Nextcloud server, it's kind of buggy but having the sync between devices is really valuable. Before that it was Thunderbird.
I also use two free online services to enhance the experience: PolitePol to create a feed where there isn't one, and SiftRSS that allows me to filter through the feed to only include (or exclude) items from the feed.
Feedly. Switched when google reader died, and honestly it's filled the hole perfectly, does all it needs to do, has premium options to support them. Fast, and clean.
Same, it's great.
I need to figure out if there is an export feature, though. I'd like to try some of the other options listed here.
