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.
You can host it yourself for free. I do, and it’s great.

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.

No, I don't think so. For example, they have a feature that allows to follow a some twitter feed. Twitter does not have RSS feeds, so they wrote a code to handle that and charging money for that. I'm totally fine with that. Reddit has RSS. Here is an example - http://old.reddit.com/r/all.rss . To subscribe to it, you need to pay 12 dollars per month to Feedly. And this I think is scammy.
For what it's worth, reddit's RSS feeds are pretty broken in my experience. It's highly likely they had to write some custom code for that as well.

> 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
The one I stripped down is feed2maildir https://pypi.org/project/feed2maildir 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…

#256Does anyone else not use one? I get my news and reading content from HN, NYT, Google News, the national news service in my country and from Alexa which gives me news from CNN, Sky News and my national news service. I also check Twitter from time to time but I try not to see it's always negative. BBC News is another source I browse to from time to time.

Google News lol. If this is the current state of the art in AI I'm not worried.

#258https://www.inoreader.com - suppose the best replacement after Google reader death ;(
This thing is packed with features, yet simple to use. Not only is it the best RSS reader I've ever used, it's up there in the top 10 of all software, of any kind, I've ever used.
