Looking to get back into RSS feeds, what are your favourite readers? I used to use Feedly years ago, still a good option?
Feeder is my choice on Android anyway.
The decentralized cross-device sync works surprisingly well! It’s a great app with no ads, minimal but attractive UI, a nice reader mode. The closest successor to Press reader.
It also supports MaterialYou color theming, which always a nice addition to any app.

Same. Works exactly how a RSS reader should.
How does it compare to feedly? It’s got great reviews.
I havent used feedly so i have no idea
Has a feature-set that is unrivaled.
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
Small shout for FreshRSS.
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? :)
Just did this exact setup last week. Loving it.
It’s awesome, especially once you add all the filters to weed out some junk. What a great, self-contained, private setup!
Read You looks beautiful
FeedMe
It’s the most feature full and compatible with miniflux for syncing

+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
Self hosted Tiny Tiny RSS instance with the Tiny Tiny RSS for Android app. Works really well and never had any issues.
Hands down my favorite right now is this website where you can setup feeds to send you the entire article into your email. You can also do digests of a weeks or days worth of rss feeds. It’s super reliable and just perfect for my use case.

Quite fond of Innoreader
Works well on PC and mobile.

Read You is a beautiful app with material you design. Works great, but the tiny thumbnails, and the fact that not all thumbnails load (whereas in Feeder they do) is my major point of complaint. Still I like using it.
This app made me use RSS on mobile again
Good UI
It can retrieve the whole article if only a preview is available
Freshrss syncIt’s a copy of Reeder on iOS
NewsBlur. The “full article text” feature is excellent.
I like that the Android app is open source and available on F-Droid and that self hosting is an option, so I pay for premium so I don’t have to deal with the hassle of self hosting while I support the developer!
An excellent choice. I do the same with Home Assistant - I COULD set up a wireguard/Tail scale connection to HA, but Nabu Casa works great and supports the developers so they can do more cool stuff like voice assistants so I can finally get rid of the AmazonEars in my house.
Read You is my choice
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…
Will leave this one up but would just flag rule 2 in the sidebar. !askandroid@lemdro.id is the place for questions - thanks!
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.
