What RSS readers do you use?
First let me say - SCREW YOU GOOGLE FOR SHUTTING DOWN GOOGLE READER. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET.
I moved over to NewsBlur for my aggregator, and I’ve been really happy with it. It’s a small team, and the dev is very responsive to issues and suggestions. Reading articles online is quick because it uses many of the same keyboard shortcuts that GReader used.
On my iPhone I rotate between Fiery Feeds, Unread, and NewsBlur’s app to read my articles on mobile.
Another hand in the air for Feedly.
Reeder with iCloud sync on iPhone and Mac.
I use fresh rss
since its rather easy to selfhost, and read you
on my android. Unfortunately read you
doesn't play well with fresh rss
yet.
Miniflux
Same. Specifically I use it as a GUI to organize them; for the actual reading, I wrote a script that compiles an E-mail digest periodically: https://github.com/it-is-wednesday/miniflux-mail-digest
cool. do you have a screenshot (or sample) of what those digests look like?
Inoreader
Self-hosted instance of Yarr (https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr).
+1
Yarr (https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr) is a versatile web-based feed aggregator that serves as both a desktop application and a personal self-hosted server.
Please be aware that the releases available on the GitHub repository "https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr" might not be the most up-to-date versions. However, you have the option to compile the application from the source code, ensuring that you benefit from essential bug fixes and improvements.
NetNewsWire
Feedly on the web and my phone (cause cloud sync and blah blah blah)
Newsboat on my Linux box that I ssh into when I'm tired of people and ads.
+1 for miniflux, has all the features and it's really light.
I didn't know about news, might give it a look. I've been using Microflux on Android.
Emacs + Elfeed
Freshrss instance and the readrops android app
Liferea, newsboat and feeder
Feeder
I use an instance of FreshRSS (but I plan on hosting my own) and I use NetNewsWire to access it on iOS
I wrote my own frontend for TTRSS https://github.com/jeena/feedthemonkey
Found my new least favorite app icon
Hey I even paid for having it custom made ^^
the android app Nunti.
I get easily overwhelmed by busy feeds and not checking every day, so their completely-offline interest algorithm concept is helpful for me
When google Reader was binned I used theoldreader for years, but eventually migrated to Feedly because it synched between my PC and smartphone.
+1 for The Old Reader.
It was the perfect replacement for Google Reader. It's been years since I've used it, or RSS in general, though.
I’ve been using NetNewsWire and it’s ability to sync through iCloud so I can read stuff on my phone or MBA. Bonus that it’s FOSS!
Newsboat on desktop and Reeder on IOS.
I pay for access to Newsblur which is an RSS aggregator with open source mobile apps. For stuff like bug feeds and tracking wiki updates on projects I use elfeed within Emacs.
TT-RSS
Inoreader
I use the news-app of my Nextcloud to aggregate and manage the feeds. To actually read them I connect the news-app with Nextcloud.
The one built into the Vivaldi web browser.
I use News Explorer on both iOS and OSX.
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1032668306
I think it’s one of the best.
I've got Feedbro running on a server, sending Twitter posts to Discord. Works well with Reddit posts too
Self hosted Tiny Tiny RSS instance with the Tiny Tiny RSS for Android app. Works really well and never had any issues.
This might actually help me move away from feedme and greader for android. Both of these apps support Feedly, but the development cycle is extremely slow to resolve some of the bugs it has.
I straight up don't understand how RSS works.
Individual sites have RSS feeds, which are essentially just XML files that contain a list of all the articles on the site.
You run software that's referred to as a feed reader, which contains a list of all the RSS URLs you want to subscribe to. It either periodically checks to see if there's updates to the RSS files, or gets notified of updates via WebSub.
This seems great for keeping up on your favorite blogs.
My question would be: What do you read on a RSS feed, I had one when I was trying to find a different way to read the news, but it didn't hold because I found news too repetitive and only talking about scary things that rarely actually impacted me, so I'd be curious to know what people use them for
I use it as intended; a way to aggregate data into one place. I use mine for podcasts, reddit, discord announcements, steam patch notes, and of course news.
Pluma
On my computers, I just use thunderbird. For Android, I recently discovered feeder (available in FDroid)
Matcha. It isn't really an RSS reader as such but instead what it does is, when run (which you can do in the terminal as well), will create a markdown doc with URLs to each of the stories you have on the feed. The idea is you run it either on a timer or manually when you want to update the list. The reason I like it is because I can easily keep a history of past "digests" for later reading if I don't have time right now.
I use Flym (Android). It's not being developed anymore unfortunately but on the other hand it was left in a very good state and it's perfectly usable with lots of good features. I especially like the built-in feed search, it's very good and 9 out of 10 times it will find the feed you want and you can add it directly. Beats the hell out of poking around websites trying to find if they have a feed and where it might be.
I use Feeder on mobile and Newsflash on desktop
NewsExplorer
I use Pluma on Android since it's the only one on Android I've found thatvhas an option to filter out articles by keywords
I still use gReader. It's hard to find but I still keep a copy of the pro version apk (version 4.3.1_pro_beta) for Android. It just works really well and has the best UI that works the way I like it on both my phone and tablet. The latest version (which is not the one I have) was last updated April 2021. The developer was 'noinnion'.
Reeder app for Apple devices. Been using since v2 and it’s on 5. I appreciate an app that has a reasonable price for killer features, actually gives significant updates for new versions, and doesn’t have a subscription model. https://reederapp.com/
Same. Reeder is amazing. Clean, updated when needed, and fast. Silvio is a great dev.
Currently using Feeder(android). Layout is simple and customizable. You can also save articles on it
I self host FreshRSS and it seems to work pretty well.
I quickly switched to feedly after the Google reader sunset, but I mostly access feedly via Reeder on Apple products. The feedly website works well when needed though.
Tried Newsblur and Feedly. Found both ugly. Now I use the news app in my Nextcloud instance. F-Droid and the Play Store have a good app that synchronises with Nextcloud News.
Nextcloud News on desktop and android
I'm using FreshRSS along with the Readrops Android app.
Newsboat.
Pretty shocked that I'm not seeing feedbin here.
It's not free but there's a free trial. Very high quality experience.
