    If you’re on Apple platforms you can try NetNewsWire. Comes with a Safari extension that you can use to easily add a feed and it syncs with iCloud and/or Feedly. Edit: grammar

    It would probably be helpful if others knew what platforms you preferred to use. 🙂

    If you’re in Apple’s ecosystem, I’m personally fond of Reeder.

    @lunar2m7 I’d go Feedly. Really frictionless and free. Then you can either just use the site itself or if you want software - you can either use their official app or find a compatible reader. I use Reeder (https://reederapp.com/) on both my Mac and iPhone which is lovely, clean, also talks to instapaper - I don’t know what there is on Windows/Linux/Android but there probably will be some pretty nice clients.

    I currently use Feedly (its proprietary though)… I have in mind switching to my own instance of FreshRSS which looks awesome and has its mobile compatible apps too.

    I would also like to mention two little tricks that made my life easier with RSS:

    • First RSSHub: it allows you to made a RSS feed out of almost anything! RSS can be awesome…
    • Second, in GitHub if you append ‘.atom’ to any relases of a repostory you get a RSS feed for releases (which I use to track different releases) for example for lemmy https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases.atom

    Hope this helps!

    Well, figuring out the sources you want to have in your RSS Feeder is a you task. Gotta know your interests. Find news sites or blogs of those interests and sub their RSS feed.

    I use android and use Feeder from the F-droid app store.
