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.
FreshRSS - Not too big on RSS, but for me it does the job. Also, If I understood correctly there is an Open API so you can use another Client with FreshRSS Back End
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:
- NewsFlash on Linux
- NetNewsWire on iOS or Mac
I’ve been so happy with rediscovering rss via FreshRSS and NetNewsWire that I’m chiming in on old threads. That is all. 🤙🏻
Nextcloud News, if you already have Nextcloud set up. There’s also an Android app for it that connects to the server.
Agreed, Nextcloud News is awesome! The app too. And it’s a given that Nextcloud itself is already awesome.

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’m using the opinionated and self-hosted reader Miniflux in combination with a browser plugin for Chrome. This way I see the amount of unread RSS items and I can either click them to open them or just mark them as read. Not sure if it’s for everyone, but I like it a lot :) Just figured it should get a mention here.
Another vote for Miniflux. If you like a Reader-type interface, check out reminiflux (it’s just an alternative frontend).
This with the matrix integration works great for me.
I’ve been using Feedbro (Firefox plugin) for a while and it does the job.
+1 for Feedbro.
I’m a fan of Inoreader.
Have you looked at Inoreader?
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.
