Offtopic: how to start a poll? I thought it had a high karma limit, but my karma is higher than the TS' and my account is also much older. Or does it require a certain avg?

The best RSS clients that I've found (Reeder for iOS and Pulse for Android) both use Google Reader as a backend to keep the feed list in sync. I don't really want a whole ecosystem, any social features, a fancy web site, etc. All I really want from an alternative is for it to provide an API for keeping feed lists in sync and for the many Google Reader clients currently available to support it.

feedspot doesn't seem to support tags. Is there a comparison chart showing how these services relate to greader features to help people decide where to migrate based on their needs?
