#182I self-host FreshRSS on a cloud server. It was pretty straightforward to setup as a docker container. The default has it running a cron job every 20 min to check for new content. You can use the FreshRSS web interface for reading but I typically use Reeder (iOS) to read my content.

#183http://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.
I also love bazqux. It has everything I need and never changes.

#184Feedly. 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.
love this product, looking to purchase a subscription to ensure it stays around

#185Self-hosted Miniflux ( https://github.com/miniflux/miniflux ) + Reeder on iOS / macOS. Miniflux like so many supports the Fever API which means I can use almost any RSS app on the platform I need it on. I also wrote a small sidekick for Miniflux that I can use to filter posts I don't like (Sponsored posts etc.): https://github.com/dewey/miniflux-sidekick
+1
Miniflux is great, small, single-binary, easily configured with envvars and just gets out of the way. Gets good development and feels great. I don't use a specific reader - just webapp on whichever platform, works well.

#186On Android I've been using an Open Source app called Feeder I installed from the F-Droid app store. It's refreshingly basic.

#187I 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…

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

#188I've been using Tiny Tiny RSS since Google shut down their reader. https://tt-rss.org/ Certainly not perfect, but it fits my needs and doesn't cost anything. Also has an Android app, so I can easily check my feeds whenever I want.
+1 for tt-rss. I like a lot of the other options (I used feedly for quite some time) but at the end of the day, self-hosting is the only guaranteed way I will have a feed reading service as long as I want it.

#189BazQux Reader [1]. I'm developer (a bit biased for sure) but I like to eat my own dog food everyday. [1] https://bazqux.com
I've been using BazQux for years and could not be happier with it. Only time I had to get in touch for an issue with a specific feed, it was fixed in a few hours.

#190https://www.inoreader.com - suppose the best replacement after Google reader death ;(
Of all the RSS readers I have used I found this to be the most functional and UI friendly. The only feature that I would like it per-folder scan tracking (Mark items as read when you scroll past them). It is currently system wide based on the View types (magazine, list, etc.)
It already has that feature.
