Everyone post your favorite RSS readers

I've been using Liferea on linux but it doesn't support atom feeds it seems. I like it because I can turn off scripting for web pages it loads, I really just want a list of headlines and to open things in another program. So I could do with something a lil better.

#rss #rss feeds #rss readers

I use NetNewsWire on iOS and Newsflash on Linux, and sync them together with a small FreshRSS server. It's a bit of a mess, but it's worked well enough for me.

If you have a Mac and iOS device, you can use NetNewsWire on both and sync them with iCloud.

NetNewsWire is excellent, can confirm

and the iCloud sync works quite well

super good program

been setting up freshrss, for better or for worse it's one of those self-hosted/vps web things though

Plum @plumpan9/10/2024, 4:13 AM

... why do people talk about "self hosted"? Do your RSS readers not just run locally and pull requests from feeds when you ask?

Neral @neral9/10/2024, 4:17 AM

that's something you install on a server instead of a native program. good thing is the mobile stuff will "sync" automatically, bad thing is you need a place to host it

been a freshrss user for almost five years - it's pretty great, but alas the self-hosting thing makes it hard to recommend to people who aren't already that kind of person

I use the RSS reader app on Android. I mostly use RSS to easily listen to podcasts without google and a Portugues word of the day website

I'm a fan of newsblur, I've been exploring self hosting some other alternatives but I don't like them as much

@aune9/10/2024, 4:15 AM

Newsblur's a webapp hosted by someone else, and I pay for it to .. not need to deal with trying to manage it myself. RSS is just a little too fundamental to me, like email.

Lapis the Nevrean @lapisnev9/10/2024, 4:17 AM

Some of the websites that offer RSS but only as a crippled legacy feature serve just the last ten tweets or other heinous things like that, so the only way to be able to scroll back through some history if you only check it every couple of days is to have a web reader that runs on a home server

I've been using Thunderbird (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/) on Windows, and Feeder (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/) on Android. I'll probably end up switching to something else on desktop whenever I switch to Linux.

mlembug @milleniumbug9/10/2024, 7:37 AM

Not saying it's good but I use Thunderbird's RSS capability since I already use it for mail.

Kewlio: I'll see you guys next time @KewlioMZX9/10/2024, 12:14 PM

I use Nextcloud News on my private instance, and connect to that with RSSGuard.

hamsternet @hamsternet9/10/2024, 12:24 PM

It's a terrible name but Feedbro is just a Firefox (and maybe Chrome?) extension that I've been using, it seems to be doing the job.

Sigmucron | Twincrest System @sigmucron-twincrest9/29/2024, 1:13 AM

on my desktop i use newsboat, it's a text only rss reader for the terminal, i personally just enjoy the vibe of checking my feeds in a terminal

on my phone i use feeder, not much to say about it, it's a mobile feed reader that's pretty good

Plum @plumpan9/29/2024, 1:19 AM

I heard some stuff about feeder selling user data but there might be two feeders??? idk

I might have to try newsboat, I am the cli kinda person....

NetNewsWire seems much better than Inoreader, OSS + no feed limit yes please! Thanks for the rec
