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

Oh, great. I didn't know that. That is very commemorable!

After google reader, I use theoldreader.com

Is anyone else having very old posts (e.g. published in 2003) float up as just published on top of their TheOldReader "all items" timeline? I subscribe to some blogs that include very old posts in their feeds and it seems like TheOldReader wraps timestamps around at some point. I wrote to their support about it since it's getting annoying, but I haven't received any reply (I'm using their paid tier). I'm guessing its…

Not for me, they're all in the right order, but I've only used it since a year or 2 after Google Reader shut down (was using Tiny RSS for a while). Maybe it's a particular feed that's messed up?

Seconding this. Simple and works perfectly.

Thirding. Very good.

I'm one of the current Vienna devs and I want to say it makes me happy seeing that people still enjoy using it.

We have some new updates planned over the next few months and hopefully you (and the parent comments) enjoy them!

It's possible. I've looked at some feed sources and didn't see anything obviously wrong. I suspect TheOldReader also because if I go to view only a specific feed, the entries are sorted correctly newest-first, but displayed publish times go something like "... February 2003; ... January 2003; ... September 2020; 2 hours ago" but on hover the "September 2020" and "2 hours ago" change to their correct 2003 publish dates.
