I'm using Feeder for Android. It's open source (Gitlab) and free as in beer.

Looks pretty good! Not the best design imo though. Will use this until I find a better alternative.

I think it's worth giving it a chance.

I liked it once I set the article style to super compact. Block list is really nice too if you have a rss that throws in unrelated material from time to time like ads disguised as articles.

Another option is Read You. Good design in general.

I went on a long search for the ideal reader, but ended up settling on using Mastodon as the feed reader instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That looks really good! Also has the option to import from opml which I needed.

This looks fantastic. Thanks for the recommendation!

What theme is that? Looks just like sync for lemmy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

That's Material 3 (aka Material You), the new standard android design language

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I came here to suggest Read You

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Any that sync with other devices? I'm looking to set up a self hosted option, but I'll see what else there is :)

I like https://miniflux.app/ It is not an app, but a selfhosted web page, and works great

i personally like feedme - it's not m3 as asked in the op, but it's the most feature-filled android client that i could find, that syncs with inoreader

This one may also be worth looking at https://www.f-droid.org/packages/co.appreactor.news/

Well not FOSS, but pluma is good. If you need something very robust then Inoreader gets job done as it's cross-platform.
