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.

[–] SnowboardBum@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Same. Works exactly how a RSS reader should.

[–] Sarcastik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does it compare to feedly? It's got great reviews.

I havent used feedly so i have no idea

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!

[–] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just did this exact setup last week. Loving it.

[–] UnrealRealityX@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] UnrealRealityX@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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? :)

[–] httpjames@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Read You looks beautiful

[–] Paradox@lemdro.id 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Inoreader

Has a feature-set that is unrivaled.

[–] Chozo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Paradox@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] afk@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FeedMe

It's the most feature full and compatible with miniflux for syncing

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seazon.feedme

[–] Matth78@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

+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.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago

Will leave this one up but would just flag rule 2 in the sidebar. !askandroid@lemdro.id is the place for questions - thanks!

[–] TrenchcoatFullofBats@belfry.rip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

NewsBlur. The "full article text" feature is excellent.

[–] yaomtc@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Quite fond of Innoreader

Works well on PC and mobile.

[–] NeryK@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

On desktop, Feedbro (for webcomics) and Livemarks (for news) in Firefox.

On mobile, Feeder.

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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...

[–] Mannivu@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

I'm still using Feedly. But I don't know if is a bad idea (speaking of privacy).

[–] gnzl@nc.gnzl.cl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] chtk@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Tucumano88@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] gelberhut@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Feedme on my phone synced with feedly in the web. Use both platforms.

[–] Polo421@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] inspector@gadgetro.id 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Salix@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Feedly is still pretty good. You can also look into Inoreader.

I personally use FeedMe and Read You with my selfhosted FressRSS and RSS-bridge servers.

[–] mikestevens@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

Must admit I'm perfectly happy with the free tier of feedly.

[–] Incendiary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Flym. The development stopped in 2020 but it's still the best one for me.

[–] broken_arrow@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Seconded. Open source. No login required.

[–] ottk3@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nextcloud News - the Nextcloud RSS reader

[–] ashtrix@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I use simplerssreader.com. Reminds me of Google Reader

[–] iN8sWoRLd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Livemarks Add-on for Firefox since I spend most of my time in the browser anyway.

[–] mizzyc@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like Pluma, but it looks like that the dev just abandoned it

[–] ExXxtr3me@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It received an update two months ago, i don't think it's abandoned.

[–] MusketeerX@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't use it a lot, but I like Pluma too.

[–] mizzyc@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

From what I saw, the updates are just rare and occasional bug corrections, but never new features.

[–] singularity@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've only ever used Feedly and it does what I want it to do.

[–] ryand3rk@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] testman@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago
