On Android ReadYou is sooo nice looking. Still missing some features.
Thunderbird; nice and old-fashioned, does everything you want.
Im already using Thunderbird for my emails but havent tried it for RSS. Do you know whether the overhaul of Thunderbird will also change the RSS part, or just the email part?
I think it affects everything in some way, but I've been satisfactorily reassured that it's not breaking any existing workflows.
Liferea, in Linux. Simple interface, no fuss, you can split your RSS feeds into folders.
I use Elfeed for Emacs, as just one small part of Emacs's slow conquest of other programs on my computer. Before that, I used Liferea, which is a nice standalone feed reader.
Elfeed lets me assign each feed in my list different tags, so I can do basic filtering for what I want to read at any given time. I generally avoid subscribing to any high-density feeds like news sites. I prefer to have maybe a dozen or so links per day that definitely interest me.
I use morss.it to fetch the full text from feeds that only provide a brief summary.
Saw this one recommended here yesterday and I'm going to give it a try:
I use the RSS reader in thunderbird, keeps the emails and news in the same place
I am using Feedbro extension for Firefox to follow a few anime bloggers, Ars Technica and Hackernews.
Nextcloud News
Does well enough and I use Nextcloud for various other things already.
So no real reason to use anything else.
I self-host FreshRSS. I'm pretty happy with it. It works well and you can add extensions to customize it if you need something particular. And I use the browser extension so I get notifications for new articles.
I used to use Feedly before. It was pretty alright, but I got annoyed by just how many things you needed to pay for
FreshRSS is solid. I hadn't heard of it until I saw it mentioned on lemmy, installed it, and I love it. The bookmarklet is great, too.
