I love TinyTinyRSS (self hosted) and lire for iOS which syncs with it. Very powerful setup. I have issues with overusing social media sites so I have sites like Lemmy do the "Top Week" and so on for areas I'm interested in.

I use an RSS reader but I'm just using it as a clunky reddit client for my city's subreddit π

i remember in high school (2010s) i tried using RSS but increasingly the feed wouldn't even have the article, just the title and the link so you'd have to visit their website. especially obnoxious because my obnoxious school district filtered approx 90% of the internet (for shocking reasons like 'forums' or 'TV/entertainment' or 'sports' or 'media')

I started fiddling with a self hosted rss thing but never got around to putting the app on my new phone. I might give a different one a try sometime it was kinda basic.
Definitely try "Read You"! It utilises Material You, has a sick UI and the dev is really nice. I think there are a lot of features, but I've just left almost everything on default.
RSS is my everyday goto, I'm using QuiteRSS with filters for specific words, really neat one.
Downloaded Feeder. It seems like a really good way to read the articles, but I also like looking at the comments, as they often mimic the threads here on Lemmy, and can add information missing in the articles, auxillary information, and cool anecdotes. I'll see if this becomes the way I look at the articles.
Inoreader ftw!
I highly recommend NewsBlur if you donβt want to host your own.
So I just downloaded feeder (edit okay I made a lite app with Hermit) but does anyone had a good way to setup a default set of feeds?
Just something to get started. I'll play around with it later but maybe someone can save me some time...
You can import a bunch of rss feeds at once if they are saved as a .opml file, and you can find a big ol' list of 'em at https://github.com/plenaryapp/awesome-rss-feeds
Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for! Thank you.
If anyone is using an apple device, NetNewsWire is open source and is dead simple. No extra features, no premium tier, can sync with iCloud or self hosted servers, and the reader mode can be applied source-wide.

Another Feedly user, here. Definitely the way to go after the death of Google Reader.
My only concern with it is that I'd prefer any advertisement revenue to go to the original website with the content I want. Fortunately, if the website's ads aren't intrusive, I just disable ad block on that site and click through to it, giving them the views they need to keep going.
That's the way to go! Plus, feedly syncs among app and website
