Other. mutt. Feed by rss2email. Running on a server I can connect to via ssh.

You'd be a great user to have when doing stress testing :) Would you mind sharing your opml (if there's nothing sensitive or that you wouldn't want to share in there)? I'm one of the developers of lector, and I'm having trouble finding people with enough feeds to put some real load on our servers.
Or alternately, give me an account and I shall attempt importing and using…
There was a poll at http://www.replacereader.com/ Site is down now but it's still in Google's cache....

More than 3k feeds... wow! I get swamped keeping up with < 100 feeds, as nothing predicts (well enough|at all) which articles I want to read, so I have to skim them all.
A lot of those feeds update infrequently. And there are a number of duplicates (a pain in Google Reader to administer) or the same site that migrated from blog platform to blog platform, but I declined to remove the old feed (primarily for search, though in the past few years, Google Reader search got nerfed to only retrieve from current year and a smattering of older items by an algorithm I ascertain could only be r…
Ah yes, I used to have this, but deleted it when there appeared to be no use for them - hadn't realised search had changed, but looking back that must be what it was.

Newsblur has gotten much faster in the last month or so and there was a major iOS app release. It's now actually pretty snappy.
Also, they used to offer only 12 RSS feeds for free. Now, they give you 64. And they've also been improving their user interface.
I haven't switched yet. What I would like to have is the reader that is basically the same as the old good Google Reader: - be web based - be cross platform (so I can use it on phone and desktop) - be light on network and fast to load - have simple design - should have folders - sort by oldest - mark all as read (in the folder) - be optimized for text, not pictures and that's pretty much all. What it shouldn't have i…
You're describing The Old Reader. It's literally based on "the old good Google Reader".
With The Old Reader, I get to either choose between having everything expended or a list view that only shows the first 3 or 4 words of the title on my phone.
No offense meant to The Old Reader folks, they're not obliged to please me... I'm just venting... and hoping what I want actually exists :)
Yoleo works well for me. I had to try importing my subscriptions twice because the first time, even after a day, didn't take. The second time worked instantly, though, and the service has been fine since. I do wish there were a full-width listing of articles in summary mode, like Reader had.
"Headline mode" is on its way, give me about 10 days :)
I accidentally unsubscribed from one of my feeds. (Because the "Unsubscribe" button is next to the "Mark Read" button, and doesn't ask for confirmation...)
I went to the website and re-subscribed, adding it as a new subscription. But it stuck itself in the "Uncategorized" section, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to move it back into its proper folder (drag/drop doesn't seem to work, there's no shortcuts that can rearrange stuff from what I can tell, the "My Account" page doesn't have any options for it...). For that matter, I can't figure out how to rearrange my folders and feeds either. Is there a way to do this? It's my biggest UI gripe in an overall solid project.

It is... OK. Works pretty well if you don't have a large number of feeds. If you do, can require some decent hardware to run well. Probably not a big deal for most people here, but I got tired of administering it and switched to NewsBlur. Some of my performance issues could have been MySQL tuning issues, but I just got tired of tinkering with it.
Performance is much better on PostgreSQL than on MySQL, and gets another big boost with absolutely minimal tuning of pg.
