Kobo has no RSS client, though, so for catching up on news feeds, Feedly on my Android phone or tablet. But I've largely stopped using Feedly at all, as my backlog would simply get so far that it started feeling like a chore to get through them.
I recommend longform.org for finding great longform article content.
I have a script which changes my terminal and texteditor colorscheme then calls this script
If I run into anything that looks like it might be intereseting I save it to Instapaper using the browser extension on my workstation, or the app on my phone / tablet.
I also have a handful of email lists that automatically forward into instapaper, and a couple rss feeds that auto send to instapaper (Via ifttt[1]).
When I want to actually consume content I use the instapaper iPadOS app, which has a simple and clean UI. (This can also be done in your browser if you prefer)
I don't read much of anything online these days. Most "reading" environments treat you as a user, not a reader . Poor typography, endless scrolling, and an endless supply of content that isn't worth reading in the first place. So I mostly consume text on screen only so that I can accomplish tasks.

I also tend to print anything substantial that I plan on reading. It's just easier on the eyes (though Firefox's reader mode and usejournal.com also help) and I can re-use the blank side of the paper for my notes. After that, it makes an okay fire starter.

Any magazine recommendations?
This enables distraction free reading and lets me archive the stuff I'm reading.
Used to have a similar workflow with Polar instead of Zotero, but switched to Zotero.
I wrote myself a simple python script so I can send articles from terminal [2].
