For the CLI junkies like myself, newsboat[0] is pretty nice. [0]: https://newsboat.org/
I use newsbeuter. I like to keep mine running in a tmux window. Wasn't aware that a popular fork existed. Does Newsboat have any advantages over newsbeuter?
I read RSS in Emacs using mu4e. I used to use Gnus, but it's (a) really slow and (b) causes Emacs to freeze (since it's written in Emacs Lisp, which isn't concurrent); in contrast mu4e delegates work to a separate process, and is generally faster (e.g. using an indexed Xapian DB). 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 d…
> there are loads of programs for polling+downloading+caching+converting news feeds Please list a few. They might come in handy. I know of feed2exec (programmable feed reader): https://gitlab.com/anarcat/feed2exec Debian also has feed2imap, feed2omb (open microblogging) and feed2toot (Mastodon): https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=feed2
Prior to that I was using imm https://hackage.haskell.org/package/imm-0.3.0.0 Looking at it's github repo it seems to have morphed into a more general-purpose tool https://github.com/k0ral/imm
I also remember looking at https://github.com/sloonz/maildir-feed and its successor https://github.com/sloonz/ua which looks nice and modular, but I couldn't figure out how to compile Go with Nix :(

Happy to answer anything, I work at Feedly. In the Pro+ you get both AI and also Newsletter feeds, Twitter feeds, Reddit feeds, public boards, soon Web Alerts
I think the fact that you've paywalled Reddit RSS feeds which are free is scammy. I get asking money for improving something, but there is no way to just subscribe to Reddit feeds as is.
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.
Happy BazQux customer too. The creator is very responsive and fixed a bug that caused slowdowns for me in no time. Recommended.

https://feedbin.com works perfectly for me. I like the relatively clean design and the pricing isn't outrageous. I use the Reeder app on iPad and iPhone to interface with Feedbin.
I especially love Feedbin's ability to ingest email newsletters, so that I don't have those crowding my inbox. It's also a great way to follow the select few Twitter accounts I'm interested in. Not trying to be a shill, just love the service! :)
https://feeds.pub A "social" RSS reader on which I can see what feeds are others following. (Disclaimer: I am the author of feeds.pub)

Recently they had a database outage. After that they decided to archive unread items after 60 days. If you're like me and have a lot of feeds, this really doesn't work. I've decided I won't renew my subscription next year.
For many years I used Reeder with syncing through Feed Wrangler. I switched because rendering is better with News Explorer.
