Blogger discovers this cool thing called "RSS".

I've been interested in trying out RSS again but I don't want to self-host. Can anyone recommend a RSS client (hosted, local, or whatever) that they like?

It can be as simple as just putting an app on your phone. I use feeder which is fine. Pretty bare bones, but in that way it's easy to learn and use.

I've also been meaning to try out an app called Nunti, which I heard about a while ago from this Lemmy post. It claims to be an RSS reader with the added benefit of an (open source and fully local) algorithm to provide some light curation of your feed. It looks interesting, but I haven't actually tried it out yet because I'm still deciding whether I want any algorithm curating my feed, even one as transparent as Nunti's. It's also only available through F-Droid right now, which is a bit of a barrier to entry.

If it's open source, you could perhaps tinker with the algorithm. My main desires for rss feeds are:

  • a way to filter out fluff affiliate link articles (e.g., 8 best gadgets on sale for prime day)
  • a way to cluster articles on the same topic (i don't really need to read 5 articles about the same news item)

Any clue if nunti could do that?

Newsblur can do the first kind of filtering. You select "best gadgets" in the title, and all posts on that feed with that phrase in the title will be hidden from then on.

Feeder can do keyword filtering on titles, but not on a per feed basis, and only with simple wildcards. I've been able to filter out a bit with it, though.
