I like how GF shows me articles (with images) of different websites and topics.

I tried freshrss, and the general RSS workflow, but it’s somehow too frustrating having 20 articles of the same site when scrolling through the feeds and it also looks somehow dull without images.

But maybe it’s just me not using the right tools.

What do you guys use to aggregate news about different topics?

    I use FreshRss, which I know doesn’t help OP, but I still love it. I get images worth most posts on my feed, assuming the article has one. Just saying…

    I use FreshRSS in combination with FiveFilters and RSS-Bridge to get full articles, instead of just snippets, and filter out content I already know I have no interest in.

    since it sounds like you’re talking android maybe, with the pixel feed on the left of the home screen, I just switched to the neo launcher + neo feed [1] this week and it’s been working great. the launcher is a pretty good open source nova-like launcher on it’s own, but the feed is just an RSS reader that is on the left of the home screen like Google would be. it’s been super nice to have that similar feed but with my chosen data.

    as for images, you should def have some. there are feeds that don’t include it, like techcrunch, but most do. you can try the verge or rockpapershotgun as examples.

    I’ve been using Inoreader for few years and there is no single thing I could complain about. It’s good enough that I’m considering buying a subscription.

    It’s not self hosted, but I spent some time curating the news feed on Bing. It works well enough that I felt comfortable switching from Google Feed, and I don’t have to worry about self-hosting random news feeds.

    For RSS I like ReadYou, for feeds I like Mastodon with a variety of interests followed. There are a surprising number of orgs on Mastodon these days.
