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.

QuiteRSS portable

Lire on iOS, and Feedbro firefox extension on the desktop. I used to use newboat, but switched since the browser is the new OS (j/k)

NetNewsWire and An Otter RSS Reader.

TTRSS with Fiery Feeds (iOS). This suits me very good

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

For self-hosted, TT-RSS. Otherwise Newsblur.

I only moved to self-hosted because I need to be able to read internal RSS feeds (Huginn etc) otherwise I would have stuck with Newsblur.

reeder on the ipad (best ui for me) and vienna on macos (as its open source, themeable and fast)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I use Thunderbird for that. I’ve got everything in folders and categories. I can read articles in text-only mode (depending on the feed), save them (even in folders with email messages), or delete them.

I’ve been using News Explorer after trying to find something simple and like how it just gets out of the way on all Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS).

I like Lire on iOS. I use the subway and train a lot and lose service, so it filled the need of offline caching. I like it!

Probably belongs more in selfhosted, but I started to do my own instance of miniflux. Works decent and is clean interface. Didn’t want to have chance of another company ending a product again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I've been selfhosting Miniflux on a raspberry pi 3b for a while now. It's very lightweight and minimal, and seems to happily subscribe to whatever feeds I've thrown at it.

I use the old reader most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! There were quite a few, and it took me a fair bit to decide on which one I wanted to start out with.

For now, I'll be using Reeder to see if it meets my needs. Like I said though, lots of fantastic options. NetNewsWire was up there around number two in suggestions, and Feedly was mentioned a fair bit as well. Admittedly I also asked around people I know, and overall those using RSS seemed to prefer Reeder.

Still, if you're stumbling upon this looking for your own, definitely go through the suggestions here.

I’ve used Feedly ever since Google Reader shut down. I’ve stuck with it because it does what I need it to do.

[–] wildcelt 1 points 2 years ago

Another vote for Feedly. Development has stagnated a bit but it still works well

[–] wildcelt 0 points 2 years ago

I’ve used Feedly ever since Google Reader shut down. It works well.
