I'm self-hosting selfoss [1]. Runs on PHP and sqlite (or MySQL), and also has integrations with some websites that don't support RSS feeds, e.g. Twitter and Reddit. Also comes with an app on Android. [1] https://github.com/fossar/selfoss

Reddit suppports RSS quite nicely, I rely on it to follow my preferred subreddits without going to their site to check: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss

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.

Is the feedly AI worth the cost?

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've used a self-hosted version of Stringer for a while: it's a barebones single-user RSS reader with very few other features. Probably not great if you plan on following lots of feeds in different categories, but it's perfect for me: https://github.com/swanson/stringer

Same here. I really like it, because it just does what I expect from an RSS reader.

I self-host an instance of https://feedafever.com/ which works nicely with https://www.reeder.ch/ on my iPhone and Mac at home and also quite nicely online (at work, but psst, don't tell anyone). Fever is unsupported, though [1], but it's still working nicely. Once it stops working, I'll switch to something that's supported by Reeder, which is an indispensable piece of software for me.

Regarding an alternative for fever, I'd recommend https://www.freshrss.org/. I use it myself in combination with reeder on all my devices.

Thunderbird. Yes, the e-mail client. Adding a new feed is neither user friendly, nor obvious, but it's nice to not need an extra program to read feeds.

neither user friendly, nor obvious, but it's nice ...

The summary of Thunderbird basically.. It has like all the features imaginable, and the core ones are done ok-ish, but after years of using it I still feel like throwing it out every now and then because of all the weirdness and quirks and straight-up bugs.
