So, I’m using Reeder Classic on iPhone. However, I can’t use it on my PC and it seems the developer has fully abandoned the Classic version and barely updates his newest ReederPlus app (which misses a lot of features I like).
So I’m searching for a new RSS. I was looking on InoReader but it’s a bit expensive (either €80/yearly or €8,99/monthly) and it seems that many old users are not fond of InoReader’s decision making.
What are you using?
FreshRSS
Same, many years now, does the job well, simple web interface without any fuss. Docker (in my case podman, but whatever) version is pretty damn bulletproof, can’t remember the last time I needed to do anything to it. Tailscale / Headscale / wireguard will let you use it on your phone’s browser if you’re keen on that.
I use NetNewsWire and feeeed. NetNewsWire is a good traditional RSS reader, and feeed for when I want something more akin to a personalized “newspaper” than just a straight feed.
I self-host Miniflux. The web client is very good on both desktop and mobile, but I prefer using it with the lire app on iOS.
I use Thunderbirds built-in RSS reader.
NetNewsWire on iPhone. Newsflash on desktop.
This puts any RSS feed into your Mastodon feed.
I’ve been using NewsBlur since I read Cory Doctorow’s piece about RSS readers: https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/16/keep-it-really-simple-stupid/
It works fine, and I’m just on the free tier.
Newsflash (Linux) -> syncing with Nextcloud News. And then NextNews on ios.
I use the Smart RSS extension for Firefox. I like FOSS for this because I require next to no features for an RSS aggregator. It’s not maintained anymore and I’m sure there’s something better out there but I haven’t been bothered enough to look.
I’ve been using feeder forever, its paid but it syncs between the phone app and browser extension
For what device? InoReader is nice and probably worth the price but I’m poor so I use NewsFlash on Linux.
Mainly for iPhone/ IOS but if it is possible to have it synch with Windows (PC) that would be a major advantage.
Elfeed in Emacs.
My favorite is RSSOwl, but I’ve been using Liferea for a while now.
I ended up using Readkit; started with Reeder, moved to Feedly and then Readkit. I cannot remember the cost but it was a one-off at the time I joined the service. I found it to work well for me.
I’m using News Explorer on all my Apple devices. It syncs my feeds and the read/unread states. And even supports a separate view for comments for many blogs.
