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

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!
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!
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? :)
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
FeedMe
It's the most feature full and compatible with miniflux for syncing
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seazon.feedme
+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.
Will leave this one up but would just flag rule 2 in the sidebar. !askandroid@lemdro.id is the place for questions - thanks!
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.
Quite fond of Innoreader
Works well on PC and mobile.
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...
I'm still using Feedly. But I don't know if is a bad idea (speaking of privacy).
Feeder
I've been using FocusReader for a while now to sync with my self hosted RSS provider (FreshRSS), works great and is under active development.
Yeah, FocusReader is my current goto as well. Works great on mobile, and pretty well on a (9") tablet. Clean UI. And syncs with Inoreader.
I'm also looking for an RSS reader, privacy friendly and with notifications. Any suggestion?
Feedme on my phone synced with feedly in the web. Use both platforms.
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.

I have a self-hosted Nextcloud instance, and I use the Nextcloud News app on Android.
Works really well. There's also Inoreader, which is really good. There's also a couple of good ones on F-Droid that you can check out.
Must admit I'm perfectly happy with the free tier of feedly.
Flym. The development stopped in 2020 but it's still the best one for me.
Seconded. Open source. No login required.
Nextcloud News - the Nextcloud RSS reader
I use simplerssreader.com. Reminds me of Google Reader
I really like Pluma, but it looks like that the dev just abandoned it
It received an update two months ago, i don't think it's abandoned.
I don't use it a lot, but I like Pluma too.
From what I saw, the updates are just rare and occasional bug corrections, but never new features.
I've been using Palabre for years. It's an app for Feedly but so much better than the official app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.palabre
I've only ever used Feedly and it does what I want it to do.
For years I've used Feedly, but recently tried "Feeder" on Android. I like the minimalist and no ad aspects. Even better it has a "fetch full article" function that works even for some paywalled sites. - downside is no website.
Commafeed
free and open source, web-based, can be self-hosted
When Google Reader died, I went to search for it's alternatives, and Commafeed was the only one that used 100% of screen width.
Feedbro bc it's easy to add yt rss feeds to it and my browser has an adblocker.
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.
