Comment on Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024

Anyone got a favourite open source rss reader? So far I am mostly finding stuff with subscriptions. Even though many have a free plan i’d like to try to find an open one first
Check out FreshRSS. You can self host, so if you have a home server, this will do the trick. Use your favorite reader app that can connect to it.
I get the subscription fatigue. I’m currently paying for Inoreader because I haven’t fully cut over to FreshRSS. It has good tools that are worth it for many, but all those subscriptions add up fast.
FreshRSS is awesome, I use it with Read You on Android and I love it
NetNewsWire for Apple devices.
Never realized that it’s open source. That’s great.
Thunderbird will do RSS.
When Google Reader shut down, Feedly had an “import from Google” feature on their sign up page. Been using it for free ever since.
Feedly
Are you sure that Feedly is open source? I can’t find any mention of it on their website.
Sorry didn’t parse that part.
OK, no worries.
(Also, I didn’t downvote your comment btw)

I’ve recommended these a couple of times in this thread, but I use Fluent Reader on desktop (cross-platform) and Feeder on Android. Both are FOSS and load articles locally, so no account/subscription required.

I cannot tell you how much better it feels to click a link to an android app and it opens github and not the play store.

FYI, Fluent Reader appears to have an Android .apk now: github.com/yang991178/…/v1.0.4%2B11
