Looking to get back into RSS feeds, what are your favourite readers? I used to use Feedly years ago, still a good option?

      This looks really interesting! Do you know of any concerning limitations of the free version anyone should be aware of?

        Their free is pretty much just “you get to use a very limited amount of our features, to try em out” and the limited amount is still pretty generous.

        I’ve been using them for a very long time, since before the free was actually an option, and have to say they’re absolutely the best RSS aggregator I’ve found

      Big shout for FreshRSS. No issues with privacy (you self-host on a simple PHP/MySQL server), and you can do as many filters as you like (instead of paying for it on feedly). then get an android reader like FeedMe that supports the FreshRSS stream and you’re golden!

        Fwiw, I’m pretty sure mine is just SQLite db. I set it up a bit ago but don’t remember a big db install. Granted it’s mainly me and just a couple others at most so that should be fine.

          I think it might support that too. I just do development in the PHP/MySQL stack, so it was a no brainer for me. I have Kodi running off MySQL as well to share with connected devices. who needs plex? :)

          It’s awesome, especially once you add all the filters to weed out some junk. What a great, self-contained, private setup!

      +1 for FeedMe

      Would love to switch to feeder which is open source but the following are preventing me from switching :

      • as soon as an article is marked as read it is removed from articles list. FeedMe only remove it when switching tag / folder
      • can’t lock an article as unread. You can save one but it’s less convenient
      • can’t customize swipe gestures

      It can retrieve the whole article if only a preview is available
      Freshrss sync

      It’s a copy of Reeder on iOS

    I use Feedly on both iPad, Android and PC, it’s simple, it syncs across all my devices, it is nice and it covers all my needs.

    I’m also looking for an RSS reader, privacy friendly and with notifications. Any suggestion?

      I use ReadYou. Has more features and easier to understand than Feeder (at least for me).

      Requires no permissions (except enabling notifications), can use local (on device) accounts. Only requires RSS links, no other data.

      Supports notifications, have not tried it. Also likely requires background refresh, which I don’t use, so don’t know about that.

    Feedly, but only because it has a web browser URL I can use if I want. I’d have probably gone for a FOSS solution otherwise.

    Come to think of it, that’s also the only reason I use Google Keep. Maybe I should look at self hosting…
