#222Akregator, a native (C++/Qt) application that runs on my machine. Happy user since ~2002 or so.
I use it too, because it's the best one for my use case - it's not a website, it's in my distro's repo, and I just need something I can copy the links to feed items / open them in a browser rather than read them in the reader itself. (Most of my subscriptions are youtube channels.)
But it's very buggy. Every so often it pops up an old feed as if it's unread. Sometimes it adds new unread feeds with empty titles. I like to delete feeds after I've read them, but sometimes the delete option doesn't do anything, but if I change to another directory and back the item is gone.
There's long-standing open bugs for some / all of these.

#223https://feedbin.com works perfectly for me. I like the relatively clean design and the pricing isn't outrageous. I use the Reeder app on iPad and iPhone to interface with Feedbin.
I especially love Feedbin's ability to ingest email newsletters, so that I don't have those crowding my inbox. It's also a great way to follow the select few Twitter accounts I'm interested in. Not trying to be a shill, just love the service! :)
Only discovered this a few months back - and I must admit it has tidied up my inbox significantly.

#224newsboat[1][2] It's an active fork of the venerable terminal RSS reader, newbeuter. I like it because it works in the terminal, is feature rich, and it's standalone. [1] - https://newsboat.org/ [2] - https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat
i don't like how it's not trivial and inconvinient to make it show all articles in one feed, so i wrote my own very simple one that shows all articles from all feeds in one big feed

#225After firefox dropped support for live bookmarks I switched to the "Livemarks" plugin. Works the same as before: RSS is just part of your bookmarks menu.

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.
How is charging for a particular feature “scammy”? Every feature that you want should be free?

#227I'm using QuiteRSS for Windows, I like the UI and the functionalities it's been working good for me except for some crushes when I upgraded to Windows 10, but they are rare. And it's free.
I use QuiteRSS too on Windows too. It has all the tools I need and it's simple.

How is allowing feeds from a particular site a "feature"? They actually had to do extra work to block those feeds for the free tier.
Maybe Gmail should add a paid feature to allow email from Amazon.

#230You haven’t mentioned what you want to use RSS for, so I‘ll try to provide some context as to how I use it. Feedbin account linked to NetNewsWire on my iPad, iPhone and Mac. I chose Feedbin because it is 1. A paid subscription, I forgot what I paid, but $50/year I want to say and 2. A ton of RSS apps support it. I like the clear cut relationship and expectations of being a customer, not merely an entitled user with a…
Fair enough, my goal is for setting up learning resources and track them.
Ephemeral or the kind of stuff you would like to archive?
Just keep that in mind when making changes to your setup in the future. RSS is a very ephemeral medium, and migrating to something like Feedbin or Feedly after you have something in place will cause data loss. That’s one of the reasons I use Pinboard.
