The fun thing is, I never left it. Even when people wanted to convince me that it was unusable, no sites used it or Google reader being killed meant there was no point anymore.
Flym works well enough.
I'm honestly tempted to start looking into RSS, I've never used it before but now without reddit it would be nice to have a centralized location to view absolutely everything relevant to my interests.
Feeder is a great Android app. It even fetches the full content from Paywalled sites
I'm making use of a self-hosted Nextcloud instance for this purpose actually. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend it just for the purposes of RSS, it's a nice addition to the platform for someone who happens to be running an instance for other reasons already. Most of the web-based RSS reader solutions I've come across relied on advertising or other premium membership models to support the service, so an alternative would have to be pretty damn compelling for me to transition away from Nextcloud and start subjecting myself to ads again.
I keep freshrss open in a smallish window on one of my monitors at all time. It alike a scrolling feed of all the news and things of the day and I can glance at it or check it as needed.
Ever since I started using Feedbin as an RSS client my internet life has gotten tlma better. Can be self hosted too.
Because of how many sites don’t use RSS feeds as much anymore, I’ve found it hard to adjust to them. I’ve been trying out the app Artifact as a sort of replacement but it’s not ideal (and everything has ads when I click through).
Still looking for a good solution for up to date, aggregated info on some of my favourite topics. This site comes pretty close but is still missing some things (for now).
I have over 100 RSS feeds I've organized into different categories. It lets me get the latest updates from many websites all in one place. Even though some feeds now only supply a headline or partial article, it's still a much faster and comfortable experience than relying on Twitter or Reddit to do the same thing.
I use snownews in Linux, and had just figured out how to subscribed to RSS feeds of Reddit subs a week and a half ago. Whoops.
I've been using NewsBlur (and syncing with Reeder on mobile) ever since Google killed their RSS service. It supports parsing some non-RSS sites and services, as well.
I use NewsBlur as a backend and Unread as a front end and absolutely love it. For whatever reason unread can often pull the entire article when NewsBlur won’t. Works great!
