Hi everyone!
I'm using Liferea as an RSS reader. So, I wonder which RSS reader do you use?
Before this, I've been used google reader until it shut down. I don't use Windows on my personal computer. I can use any Linux distro, I always use Liferea. but I never saw an RSS reader such as Google Reader. Is there an RSS reader to a good alternative? It could be self-hosted. But should be free, not freemium.
In this post, you can tell your paid RSS readers too (:

I highly recommend Newsboat. It's a minimalistic and highly customizable console RSS reader for Linux, FreeBSD and macOS. <3
Imhh it seems, this will be my best with my i3 desktop on my Arch and Ubuntu <3
Thanks :) Does newsboard support synchronization to cloud systems?
Thanks
You're welcome. :) I think the whole user experience is a pleasant one if you like console applications.
About cloud systems: In the Newsboat folder you can find an urls and a config file which you could sync to any cloud storage to share them with different clients. Another use case is described here: Newsboat as a Client for Newsreading Services. In this scenario you can use Newsboat as a client to consume an online feedreader. But as far as I know, you can't use Newsboat like, let's say, Feedly.
I used to use Feedly just because it was easy to use. There's a free version and paying a little each month unlocks some additional features (not sure it's worth it). I need to get back into RSS feeds!
I used Feedly, but something made me feel different. I don't know but you know this design.
I really loved this design. I'm looking for these kinds of RSS readers.
Thanks :)
I only use Google Board (scrolling to the left side on my pixel phone) and the Dev.to main page. Then I'm into some mail listings so I receive some digests and news.
I also use mail lists. On my computer, I don't have a chance like Google's Board.
Yes, I also visit dev.to every day. But I read 100+ blog posts every day in various categories like programming, political, energy, science, etc.
Some websites have their mail list. It is easy to follow their latest posts. But some websites don't have a mail list. They just have an RSS.
Wow k don't have enough time for that much. I follow science channels on YT so they TL;DR the latest news to me 😂
I sleep 5-6 hours a day. After breakfast, I have 1.5 hours. I can sleep but I don't sleep
I read these posts every morning and at every lunch.
At night, after the gym, I read blog posts and I write posts to publish later.
I also read books. I believe this is good for me :)
Well all that gives you Knowledge is good for sure, sleeping less than 7h is not but it's up to you.
The most important thing is if you can internalize and apply this knowledge which, if you don't left time to practice it is poorly possible.
Its not self hosted but Inoreader is very good choice.

Seconding Inoreader! I've tried quite some RSS and I got stuck with that one. It has in my opinion the best features to offer. Yes, it is not for free, but it also offers Smartphone-Apps so you can read it underway.
I've also tried Feedly but I've found Inoreader much better. IMHO, Inoreader has the best UX I know for RSS so far.
If you've tried Inoreader in the past you should give it a try again because it's added some new features in the recent months.
Thanks.
I used it also. First of all, it forces us to make a choice. You're facing a pricing limit. I don't want to know a limit rule. Why should I care about the limit when I only use RSS reader?
I've run Stringer in a free Heroku plan since the Google Reader shutdown. My needs are pretty small and Stringer is a fantastic minimal feed reader.
I use a combination of tt-rss, newsboat and some slack channels I am in are subscribed to certain feeds.
I just recently got my hands on RSS. I am using News Flash on my Gnome DE. It has a clean UI and all necessary features for me.
