You might not be aware but Lemmy has RSS built into it. I just noticed myself so I wanted to check out the current state of RSS clients and well, nothing seems to be quite what I’m after.

What RSS clients out there are worth looking at? I notice several have self-hosted server solutions which is interesting. I don’t care if it’s free, open source, paid or whatever though, I just want a good experience.

      Another vote for FreshRSS. It’s a self hosted solution. I’m a bit of a data hoarder so mine is set to never purge articles, and edits are treated as new articles.

      Clients I use:

        I’ve been so happy with rediscovering rss via FreshRSS and NetNewsWire that I’m chiming in on old threads. That is all. 🤙🏻

    I use miniflux which is minimalist, yet has a lot of features.

    As miniflux serves the Fever API, I can use nice RSS clients that sync across all my devices (like Reeder for iOS and macOS).

    I love Reeder for iOS. For service I’ve been using Feedly since the beginning so I’ve stuck with them. But these days there is probably better (and cheaper) options.

      I set this up and like the UI but it does that stuff where it says things like “Hey you have duplicates do you want to remove them? Oops sorry you gotta pay for that” and “Hey we noticed you’re using a adblocker”. Everything has to be a subscription service these days.

        If you want someone else to do work for you and pay for expenses upfront for you, you should expect to pay for thator have your interaction with that service be sold to advertisers at a minimum.

          Sure, but I don’t think it has to be a subscription nag. They’re free to monetize as they wish but I don’t have to use it either when non-subscription alternatives exist.
