I've been on NewsBlur since Google Reader was put down. I'm still happy with it. Both the web and phone version are nice, and it rarely has issues. https://www.newsblur.com/

Switched to NewsBlur when google reader was shut down… It’s so much better than I could have imagined GReader ever becoming. Used it daily for years!

I went from Google Reader to Digg Reader to Inoreader free to Inoreader paid. Has been pretty solid I have only found one bug - sometimes it doesn't show you the same article you clicked on. Tried to report that but they wanted me to go to lengths to convince them it was not my browser environment - uninstall all extensions etc. Otherwise very happy with it.

If anyone is looking for some self hosted RSS reader I have covered them in blog post, check it out https://rohanrd.xyz/posts/rss-readers-that-you-can-self-host...

As it happens I was going to set up a homelab in the new year, and an RSS reader was one of the things I wanted to host. Thank you!

Feeder: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ One of the surprisingly few readers I could find that is local-only and doesn't require an account. I self host a lot of services but don't see the need for an RSS reader server-side.

Feeder's great, I personally dont need anything more complicated

I've been self-hosting miniflux [0] for a couple years. Rock solid performance, deployment is easy, upgrades are small but meaningful, and doesn't use anything exotic in the tech stack (mainly Go, some vanilla JS, persists data in PostgreSQL). I mainly browse on my laptop, but it's pretty decent on mobile. [0]: https://github.com/miniflux/v2

Self hosted miniflux as well but kept running into 403/429 errors when using reddit rss feeds, went back to freshrss. The biggest issue is that once you invest in a reader, your data aside from the feed opml, is stuck in that reader so your favourites, labels, and content can't migrate.

Interesting feedback on reddit RSS feeds. I'm only subscribed to a single reddit feed, but it's totally possible that miniflux was spamming requests and that led to a rate limit. It isn't super customizable in terms of how frequently it pings to see if new items have been added, it's a fair criticism.

I'd gently push back on the migration issue. As long as you're going the self-hosted route, all of this data exists on your machine. A tool for painless migration from X reader to Y reader might not exist, but at least it's feasible to build. If your data is in some hosted solution, you're at the mercy of the provider to implement data exports.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So do I, since I'm subscribed to a lot of email newsletters and it's nice to have them all together, but the lack of sync between devices is annoying

Can you recommend me any newsletters? Thanks in advance.

I'm subscribed to Matt Levine's Money Stuff[0] about finance, computers are bad[1] about retrotechnology, and A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry[2] about history. The common theme through all of these is their focus on big picture systems, which I enjoy. I'm also subscribed to the Orbital Index[3] which is about space, and is more focused on small scale current events than the others.

I happen to be using my own. I wrote my website from scratch in Go and decided to build a RSS reader into it. Anyone can view the list of articles I’m reading at https://dwayne.xyz/reader

Had a similar idea as one of the features for my static generator. Really glad to see it in action.

Same comment as last time Never understood why nobody talks about NewsExplorer https://apps.apple.com/app/id1032668306 , the only third party app on my phone that is available on ALL iDevices it’s actually insane iCloud sync without needed rss backend, snapshot/export/import/folder Also reads Twitter private lists and feed Search inside articles Stable with tens of thousands of articles unread

+1 for News Explorer. Took a bit to configure, but I use it every day with no issues. Even use the Watch app sometimes
