I hosted Tiny Tiny RSS myself for years after Google Reader closed, I must say it was very stable and hardly ever needed intervention.
But eventually I got fed up and moved to Feedly.

Re: Ask HN: How do you RSS?
#32I have been using Feedly since Google Reader was shut down. Use it across iPhone, iPad and web. I also use it to capture other articles and bookmarks on my boards.
I have subscribed to Pro for awhile but mostly for search and a few other things. I think they do have feed limits on the free tier.
I’ve tried and used a lot of different readers over the last 20 years but for me the most important is sync of read status across my consumption devices.
I have a lot of feeds across many different categories. HN, lobsters, dotnetkicks and a bunch of other high volume aggregators make up one category. Then I have feeds for startup/VC blogs, engineering blogs, some hyper local stuff, and some other non tech categories I’m involved in (food, wine, etc)

#33I do most of my browsing from RSS. I've got a handful of sites in my browser's bookmarks, and about 40 in my RSS feed.
I've got Feedly Pro, and use both the Windows Web client and a few different apps on Android (I'm trying to wean myself of gReader Pro, but the thing still works after 5+ yrs w/o updates, and is just perfect).
I dismiss 90% of RSS items because dupes or not interested (there's a reason those sites didn't make my bookmarks). I might dismiss a bit less is there was a snooze option, but there isn't.
I'll do most of my reading in-app, and switch to the browser only if I want to read or add to the comments.
My main issue currently is sites getting borked by google's "html simplifier" (whatever they call it). The thing I love most aside caching + offline reading is Firefox Andoird ability to open pages in the background, so I can sift thourgh my RSS items, dismiss 90%, and open a few pages that I'll get to once I'm done cleaning up my RSS feed and have time.

#34I self host Miniflux [1] and am really happy with it, although recently I have moved toward using Fraidycat [2]. I really like the way that Fraidycat groups things by author, whereas traditional RSS readers just give you a feed. This enables me to follow high-volume publishers (such as Marginal Revolution) without the anxiety of seeing the Unread count in my reader creep ever higher. The only downside of Fraidycat fo…
Firefox/Android accept all desktop extensions.

It's a wonderful easy to use commandline RSS reader.

Make your content either plain text or HTML that doesn't require JS.

Podcast Addict. Free with ads, chump change to make the ads go away.
It has discovery, search, and the ability to add RSS by url address too.
I use it for podcasts, webcomics, and even a comedian's "upcoming gigs" feed.
