Any rss reader which aggregates feeds (lemmy.ml)

On Thunderbird for example, there's no way to aggregate feeds from different places, into just one common view. I'm looking for aggregating all feeds from different places into a common view, where I can globally just keep what I want to read from everywhere and remove what I'm not interested on.

Notice just the view needs to be joint, and one can remove stuff from the joint view, but in reality one would be removing stuff from each feeds provider.

Not sure if such client is available for gnu+linux, and hopefully a GTK one.

Edit: Trying newsflash. At the beginning I didn't want to try webkitgtk based packages, since it was supposed to be insecure, however stock packages are depending on it, so I guess there's no much trouble now a days. webkit2gtk was the safe bet that I remember. So considering this query as solved for now, :) Many thanks to all.

Edit 2: On TB I can remove feeds I don't want to keep, which rss readers can do that? On newsflash at least I don't see a way to remove stuff. So for sure that'll consume a lot of space depending on the amount of articles. Or am I missing something?

Feedbro installed as Firefox/Chrome plugin is a great app as cross patform RSS reader.

I'm not sure I understand... I thought all readers did this.

Doesn't liferea do it? (It's also gtk iirc)

[-] kixik@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Well, Thunderbird doesn't, so I couldn't tell if all others were the same, :(

Thanks !

[-] orizuru@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

You're welcome!

Had no idea that thunderbird didn't do it, sounds like a pretty basic feature to me.

[-] foo@withachanceof.com 6 points 10 months ago

Liferea has "search folders" that let you define conditions for which stories/feeds show up in them.

Android: Feeder

Selfhosted: Nextcloud news

Lots of more apps, search on Flathub or F-Droid

Android App for Nextcloud News synchronisation

As usual, I'll swing by to say Newsboat even though it is not really a GUI or GTK.

I aggregate all my YouTube subs into a single entry, for example. Very useful.

Check out Fluent Reader, it's the best looking and the most featureful RSS reader I know of on Linux. Does have a common view as well.

[-] GadgeteerZA@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

I second Fluent Reader. I even did a video about it as I was pretty impressed with it for its full text retrieval. It has an articles view, as well as lots of good display options.

[-] kixik@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I'll keep it as a 2nd option, since it's Electron based.

[-] 257m@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

For android: Feeder is just great For linux desktop: Newsboat

[-] RTRedreovic@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 10 months ago

True. Feeder is a great app. Every morning, I wake up and have my coffee while reading my news feed via Feeder.

[-] hollyberries@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

What about Raven Reader? It's Electron, yet it didn't feel like an Electron app. I used it before switching to Newsflash. My only reason for switching was that Raven didn't work well with FreshRSS.

[-] moreeni@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Akgregator works as described

[-] kixik@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

akregator is unfortunately part of the kde-pim, requiring akonadi, and a bunch of kde deps, see for example:

% pacman -S akregator

I was hoping there's something which way less dependencies, hopefully GTK rather than Qt... At some point I wanted to use kmail and korganizer, also part of kde-pim, but besides korganizer never fixing a pretty old bug, the amount of deps I needed, plus the akonadi DB, made go back on that attempt. The same goes for akregator unfortunately...

[-] moreeni@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

That's unfortunate. I can't think of a Gnu/Linux reader with as much functionality. Maybe you could try using self-hosted online readers like tiny rss

I am new to Linux and the concept of "rss",I have use fluent reader on Linux and feeder for Android to read news which support rss service.However,I still don't understand what is aggregator and why do I need it? The only thing I have done so far is copy the rss link and paste to my rss reader. Could anyone eli5 to me?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
