First let me say - SCREW YOU GOOGLE FOR SHUTTING DOWN GOOGLE READER. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET.
I moved over to NewsBlur for my aggregator, and Iβve been really happy with it. Itβs a small team, and the dev is very responsive to issues and suggestions. Reading articles online is quick because it uses many of the same keyboard shortcuts that GReader used.
On my iPhone I rotate between Fiery Feeds, Unread, and NewsBlurβs app to read my articles on mobile.
Another hand in the air for Feedly.
Reeder with iCloud sync on iPhone and Mac.
I use fresh rss since its rather easy to selfhost, and read you on my android. Unfortunately read you doesn't play well with fresh rss yet.
Miniflux
Same. Specifically I use it as a GUI to organize them; for the actual reading, I wrote a script that compiles an E-mail digest periodically: https://github.com/it-is-wednesday/miniflux-mail-digest
Self-hosted instance of Yarr (https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr).

Please be aware that the releases available on the GitHub repository "https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr" might not be the most up-to-date versions. However, you have the option to compile the application from the source code, ensuring that you benefit from essential bug fixes and improvements.
Inoreader
It was only about a week ago I had no idea what RSS was used for. And today I've subscribed to Inoreader to trial it out for a month because it's freaking amazing!
I use an instance of FreshRSS (but I plan on hosting my own) and I use NetNewsWire to access it on iOS
Feedly on the web and my phone (cause cloud sync and blah blah blah)
Newsboat on my Linux box that I ssh into when I'm tired of people and ads.
+1 for miniflux, has all the features and it's really light.
I didn't know about news, might give it a look. I've been using Microflux on Android.
Liferea, newsboat and feeder
NetNewsWire
Inoreader
the android app Nunti.
I get easily overwhelmed by busy feeds and not checking every day, so their completely-offline interest algorithm concept is helpful for me
I wrote my own frontend for TTRSS https://github.com/jeena/feedthemonkey
When google Reader was binned I used theoldreader for years, but eventually migrated to Feedly because it synched between my PC and smartphone.
I use the news-app of my Nextcloud to aggregate and manage the feeds. To actually read them I connect the news-app with Nextcloud.
Feeder
My question would be: What do you read on a RSS feed, I had one when I was trying to find a different way to read the news, but it didn't hold because I found news too repetitive and only talking about scary things that rarely actually impacted me, so I'd be curious to know what people use them for
Iβve got tons of feeds for sites that interest me. I organize them into folders by subject. I have a folder for online comics, iPhone sites, news sites, sports sites, technology sites, and pen-related sites just to name a few.
I use it as intended; a way to aggregate data into one place. I use mine for podcasts, reddit, discord announcements, steam patch notes, and of course news.
TT-RSS
I use Feeder on mobile and Newsflash on desktop
I've got Feedbro running on a server, sending Twitter posts to Discord. Works well with Reddit posts too
I self host FreshRSS and it seems to work pretty well.
The one built into the Vivaldi web browser.
I use News Explorer on both iOS and OSX.

I think itβs one of the best.
Self hosted Tiny Tiny RSS instance with the Tiny Tiny RSS for Android app. Works really well and never had any issues.
This might actually help me move away from feedme and greader for android. Both of these apps support Feedly, but the development cycle is extremely slow to resolve some of the bugs it has.
Currently using Feeder(android). Layout is simple and customizable. You can also save articles on it
Iβve been using NetNewsWire and itβs ability to sync through iCloud so I can read stuff on my phone or MBA. Bonus that itβs FOSS!
I pay for access to Newsblur which is an RSS aggregator with open source mobile apps. For stuff like bug feeds and tracking wiki updates on projects I use elfeed within Emacs.
Newsboat on desktop and Reeder on IOS.
Matcha. It isn't really an RSS reader as such but instead what it does is, when run (which you can do in the terminal as well), will create a markdown doc with URLs to each of the stories you have on the feed. The idea is you run it either on a timer or manually when you want to update the list. The reason I like it is because I can easily keep a history of past "digests" for later reading if I don't have time right now.
On my computers, I just use thunderbird. For Android, I recently discovered feeder (available in FDroid)
