I self-host FreshRSS. I prefer the feeds to be pulled from a server rather than locally from a browser. This lets me check out news feeds from work without worrying about my computer pinging websites IT doesn't like.

+1 for self hosted FreshRSS. The only feature I'm missing from it is selecting multiple unread entries and marking them as 'read' instead of opening them one by one or marking the whole feed. Other than that it gives a feeling like using the Google Reader.

Feedly's web app is awesome. I usually use the web version on iPad.

The main problem with RSS apps these days is they respect the article summary and do not render the full article in the app, so you have to read in the in-app browser or default browser. The (iOS) in-app browser doesn't have extensions or dark mode, so

Alternatively, everyone wants you to visit their site so only publish their RSS with a summary.

Feedly [0] (web app and on IOS) has been amazing since Google Reader died. On IOS it makes flipping through items and saving them for later a smooth and relatively fast experience.

I run an instance of FreshRSS [0] and access it from a browser, but I also use NetNewsWire [1] as a client on platforms where it is available. [0] https://freshrss.org/ [1] https://netnewswire.com/

I'd love recommendations for a good Android client. Right now I just have the site installed as a web app. It works, but I have a foldable phone and the site displays a little weird when unfolded in landscape.

gReader Pro is pretty good on Android, doesn't get in the way too much.

Since Google died I've been using selfoss. I haven't / hadn't been able to find the social features, and selfoss was just straightforward and solid.

NetNewsWire is great, but iOS/iPad/Mac only. It syncs between devices using iCloud, so without a Feedly etc. account. That feature seems to be pretty rare.

If you’re already using a Mac and an iPhone, NetNewsWire is great! It’s native, beautiful, and "just works". I finally ended the chase for the perfect RSS reader and started enjoying my feeds.

On android, feeder v1.x. The v2 update changed the UI for the worse. The old version works wonderfully.

The iPhone and Mac apps are also great. I've been using them for years. You can use it to show your feeds from popular rss aggregators or it can aggregate by itself via icloud, and it syncs across your devices.
