There's also Lighthouse (https://lighthouseapp.io/). Compared to typical RSS readers it organizes content into Inbox and Library. Where new content lands in the inbox, where you can sort through it and add content you're interested in to the library.
So it's basically a combination of feed reader and read-it-later app.

#112Im using Newsboat, it is pretty cool: https://newsboat.org/index.html

#113I 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.
FocusReader works well, the free version has some ads.

#114Newsboat By a mile. The command line doesn't really bother me, and the killer feature is being able to hook it into my crontab, so it acts like Google Reader (without the social features), but it's completely local to my machine. I honestly don't want to rely on another service again if I can help it, and this tool really scratches that itch.
I'm also using newsboat, mostly in android where I run it via nix-on-droid (https://github.com/nix-community/nix-on-droid). I generate the config and url files via a nix script that has a bunch of functions, for example for taking a twitter username and getting the RSS feed from a nitter instance. It's also using for ensuring that programs used in filter/exec feeds are used - I'm using sed for replacing the nitter instance with x.com like so: "filter:/nix/store/82v9hz5nav5swvdmz4cq53f2m671njcc-gnused-4.9/bin/sed 's#nitter.poast.org#x.com#g':/rss" rel="nofollow">https://nitter.poast.org//rss"

#115On Android, Handy News Reader from the f-droid.org app store works well, once I went through all the settings and customized it, and got used to it. Except now it doesn't auto-fetch (it used to) and I don't know if I did something wrong, but manually fetching new stories isn't bad.
It is a local reader -- no account required, no server storage, but stores everything on the phone.
I've also used NewsBlur which I would probably like more if I paid. One thing about Handy News Reader is there is a way to see the URLs of existing feeds, which I have not found how to do in NewsBlur.

I haven't tried any of the others in comments here, so can't make comparisons; that might be interesting.

#116Another vote for Feedly here. I like the interface, it's pretty simple and I don't need much (nor want more). I'm on the free plan. I can get my feeds from any of my devices, which is important to me. The iOS apps for my phone and ipad work great. That's really all I need.
I also love Feedly, and pay for it. "mute filters" are a great feature. I can exclude keywords from feeds.
So, for example, I consume HN via rss, and filter out all the stories about tech & political celebrities, which have low intellectual caloric content.
I should probably add a filter to exclude "?" to apply Betteridge's law...

#117Is the content on RSS feeds significantly different that what you can find on platforms like HackerNews or Reddit?
RSS is how I read HN. I go through all the articles the reach the front page, async at my leisure. also HNRSS has amazing features. https://hnrss.org/

#118Self-hosted miniflux (golang based). Very minimalist, I used to miss a phone app for it but the mobile webpage is good enough for me. I turned to it when the tiny tiny reader maintainer turned out to be a huge p*ck. Wasn't just me, others confirmed. Think I am using miniflux for 6-7 years now
You can also use FeedMe Android app with Miniflux.

#119Firefox + Feedbro extension + RSShub container (self hosted) does the trick for those that have and had RSS.
