I use email. I've done this for a long time as evidenced by this old blog post:

I like it because I already have email synced across all of my devices and my email clients have configurable notifications which works well for RSS where I mostly don't get notifications. Most of my feeds are filtered into a folder that is pre-downloaded to my phone and I read it when I have some downtime. But it is also easy to have a few important feeds go straight to my inbox when I want to see updates right away.

I used a third-party service for most of the time but have recently started up my own RSS-to-email service so am using that now. You can also self-host very easily.

Same here. I ported the original python rss2email to go, added some filters and customizations, and now just handle RSS via mail everywhere:

Another Feedbin user. Between the UI quality and the support for mailing lists, Twitter, and YouTube, it's simply excellent.

+1 I’ve been paying for Feedbin since Google Reader shut down and one of the first things that impressed me was how responsive the author was to feature discussions and bug reports on Github.

I use Feeder [0], downloaded from fdroid.

Sadly, I accumulate much more feeds than I read. Just like podcasts. I subscribe to too much of them. Download a lot of episodes, and I do not listen to them at all.

Does anyone know how to prioritize?

Created a (free) account on https://rss.envs.net and I read my feeds with third-party Android tt-rss clients. A couple of curl+jq aliases help me also monitoring incoming articles between two pieces of work thanks to the API.

Previously I enjoyed Flym for Android, but I decided to use this tt-rss account for several reasons (mostly synchronization between devices).
