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.
On Android nothing comes close to gReader Pro with The Old Reader as sync Backend. Sadly the app is discontinued, however the apk can be used just fine.
I use the Miniflux standalone podcast reader with Wallabag and submit selected articles to Wallabag for later reading. I also use the Newsboat CLI client which can sync with Miniflux installations as an alternative to the web interface it’s comfortable.
I use the Vivaldi web browser, which has its own built-in RSS reader. It’s basic, but all I need and the fact its in the browser means I’m a lot more likely to check out my RSS feeds and not forget about them.
I’ve been running tiny tiny rss (aka ttrss) on a vps for well over 10 years. It’s been rock solid through many upgrades. It’s got a great web interface & android app. There’s a decent sized community for it. The only drawback is that primary dev (fox) does not tolerate (what he conciders) dumb questions. The new docker compose deployment is brain-dead simple.
FreshRSS is ugly and sometimes clunky but seems to be unparalleled for features and support (Reeder + Netnewswire for clients) as far as selfhosted options go
This is how I ended up on FreshRSS. It’s not my favourite looking thing or anything, but it seems to work the best (especially in terms of supporting mobile apps). I wish it was more tag centric, though. It’s kind of clunky having to make single categories for everything.
I just try to stay out of the actual webui as much as possible, pretty much only going in to change filters. maybe there’s an extension for better tagging?
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.
miniflux is great. If you don’t want to self host, the developer offers a hosted version that is very reasonably priced and I like to think it contributes to the development of the software.

Have you looked at Inoreader?
Not yet but I’m going to!
TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS). It’s the most complete for selfhosting.

Someone posted this a while ago on r/apple, might as well throw it on the pile

If you want one for your phone, Feedly is pretty good. On desktop, I use Liferea.

I’ve replaced ttrss with Miniflux and I’m very happy with it. No need for a mobile app, the web interface is just fine on both desktop and phone.
I’ve been using Feedbro (Firefox plugin) for a while and it does the job.
+1 for Feedbro.
