What's your favorite RSS Reader? (lemmy.ramble.moe)

Back in the olden times, I was an avid user of Google Reader. I had dozens of RSS feeds and went through my feeds religiously. When Reader was killed I jumped to Feedly, and while it was alright for a while I just couldn't get into it and eventually fell off and found Reddit.

Well, it's been around a decade and I'm interested in jumping back into RSS. I've seen a lot of suggestions, but right now Reeder and News Explorer are the two I'm looking at. Ideally I'm looking for one that can at least sync between macOS, iPadOS, and iOS; but watchOS would be a an excellent bonus (and tvOS is ludicrous, but News Explorer supports it, so sure?).

Do you use an RSS reader anymore? What do you use or recommend, and why? I'd love to know.

Unread is super clean with minimal UI distraction. Probably not for everyone, but I think it’s perfect

Yeah I use Unread on mobile and Feedly on desktop.

I love Unread. Its design goes out of its way to focus on the reading experience, not filtering, not “triage”, just beautiful, readable text of the sites you subscribe to and the basic management features to add or remove.

I also love that Unread has “saved articles” which lets you use that same interface and readability for random articles you find, without having to subscribe.

Used it for years, happily pay the subscription for premium.

I loved Unread until it went subscription. I know I don’t need to pay for it and I get core stuff For free — but some of their functionality was free before and now just feels locked to just be locked for pay.

I think the subscription could be a bit cheaper, but I’ve been on and off with it and it definitely works without it.

The main reason I started it again is because of a built in "save link in unread" feature, but you can also get that via pocket or instapaper‘s rss feed.
