I’m personally using NewsFlash at the moment, and it’s perfectly fine, but its borders are completely incongruous with my theme, I assume they’re based around Gnome and I’m on Plasma, so I’m looking for a new one and was wondering what people here use?

On top of one for Linux, I’d be curious on if any of you have recommendations for Android or iOS, as only being able to check the news on my pc has led to me relying on RSS a bit less than I’d like.

    emacs + elfeed

    Reasons:

    1. I’m using emacs for almost everything, so it it is a quite obvious choice
    2. Links to rss/atom are stored in a plain human readable org-mode file that you can edit manually or use VCS on top
    3. It works fine from both terminal and gui
    4. It is a fully OSS solution under The Unlicense

      Ooo, fever API is now finally supported!

      Edit: feverAPI is also deprecated, I guess I’ll just use the web version of my rss-app on mobile instead

        I prefer the non nonsense interface of RSS Guard, but then I’m reading CVE notices, so I need it simple and organised.

        Still can’t decide which one to uninstall. I think akregator looks better but RSS Guard seems to have a lot of development. I’ll keep running both.

    If you’re looking for something minimal but highly customizable I’d recommend newsboat. For Android I use feedr.

    I use Feedly (a website that fills the same role as Google Reader) but I’m not that happy with it nowadays since they seem to be pushing for AI nonsense. Any of you self-hostey people got any suggestions for hosted RSS readers, ideally ones with NixOS modules?

      I have a feedly account but don’t use their apps or site. I’ve struggled to find a good Android client but Newsify on iOS is great. (I have Android and iOS devices and, at the very least, VMs of desktop OSes for developer reasons. So, Feedly syncing everything is my use case. MacOS, Linux, and iOS have Reeder or Newsflash. I barely use Windows except for building and testing and haven’t tried finding on there but I’d be curious if anyone knows of one.)

    I self-host FreshRSS as a container with podman behind Traefik on a raspberry pi 5 and use the web interface on desktop and FeedMe on android. Pretty happy with the setup.

    I am pretty happy with QuiteRSS. Has a built in browser with adblocking, but easy right click options to open tan external browser. Easy to set up feeds and filters.

    Just Thunderbird is fine for me, has all the features I want and I already get my email there (but even if I didn’t I’d struggle to find an RSS reader with its features).
