Hello, everyone. I'm trying to shift to RSS for news and looking for the best way to access a feed across multiple devices.

Most recommendations I've seen are for Feedly, but the free version has some limitations like sponsored ads and no more than 100 sources. It also seems to be very corporate and starting to integrate AI into its model.

I've heard that Friendica can integrate RSS into your social feed. Does anyone have experience using Friendica as an RSS feed?

Any other good options that can sync an RSS feed across devices?

I use Feeder (Android).

Thanks. I'll look into it. Does it sync feeds across devices?

From the link...

Feeder does NOT sync with usual remote backends so no account registration of any kind is necessary.

Feeder is free to use and runs locally on your device. Your data is 100% private.

Edit: Apologies, I didn't pay enough attention to your focus on syncing across devices, when I made my suggestion.

Thanks, great reference! It's going to take some time to digest, but I know it will be useful.

My setup is self-hosted FreshRss and FeedMe as a client on Android.

I'm not fully happy with this, as my feeds are often design-related, but FreshRSS provides no alternatives views to long text line listings, e.g. no card, masonry or grid views, which proprietary clients usually have.

FeedMe is much better, so I mostly scroll feeds on my phone.
