Feedly. Switched when google reader died, and honestly it's filled the hole perfectly, does all it needs to do, has premium options to support them. Fast, and clean.
Happy to answer anything, I work at Feedly. In the Pro+ you get both AI and also Newsletter feeds, Twitter feeds, Reddit feeds, public boards, soon Web Alerts
I think the fact that you've paywalled Reddit RSS feeds which are free is scammy. I get asking money for improving something, but there is no way to just subscribe to Reddit feeds as is.
No, I don't think so. For example, they have a feature that allows to follow a some twitter feed. Twitter does not have RSS feeds, so they wrote a code to handle that and charging money for that. I'm totally fine with that.
Reddit has RSS. Here is an example - http://old.reddit.com/r/all.rss . To subscribe to it, you need to pay 12 dollars per month to Feedly. And this I think is scammy.
Correct, Reddit RSS are not reliable, but most importantly, the rate limit always banned us in couple days every month. There are some tools available, but they will run into this issue eventually when they'll hit critical mass of users.
I set up an AWS API Gateway that proxies to Reddit RSS URLs and then I just give the APIG endpoint URL to Feedly. Unless you have a lot of reddit feeds or high traffic ones, you probably won't even break out of the APIG free tier.
The problem with Reddit feeds is that without using their API (that costs us money) we were getting rate-limited by their servers, so even when we have moved polling to Pro users only, we were still being blocked, so the only way was to use their API to bring Reddit to everyone.
I have a few webcomic RSS feeds as well as an RSS feed for an IRL standup comic's schedule. I also have an RSS feed for a particular church's weekly service.
Podcast Addict works for more than just strictly pure straight-forward pure podcasts.
I'm glad that it's back, but annoyed that the latest version is 10.15 only. I have a policy of staying one release back on Apple OSes that has served me well.
I'm using the Reeder app on iOS, it syncs with a bunch of services. Before I was using Fiery Feeds, but they switched to a subscription model and the app I had paid for wasn't supported anymore.
I'm using QuiteRSS for Windows, I like the UI and the functionalities it's been working good for me except for some crushes when I upgraded to Windows 10, but they are rare. And it's free.
I used to use Newsblur [0] after GReader shut down, but then they raised the prices and as I pretty much used none of their fancy features I switched to self-hosting Tiny Tiny Rss [1]
It's what I use too. And except for getting a new logo a while ago, absolutely nothing has changed since I started using it, which I love. I hope it never goes away.
Meanwhile, Apple invents a new magical way to set the alarm time on their phones once a year, and it infuriates me.
Is anyone else having very old posts (e.g. published in 2003) float up as just published on top of their TheOldReader "all items" timeline? I subscribe to some blogs that include very old posts in their feeds and it seems like TheOldReader wraps timestamps around at some point.
I wrote to their support about it since it's getting annoying, but I haven't received any reply (I'm using their paid tier). I'm guessing its kind of a rare edge case.
Not for me, they're all in the right order, but I've only used it since a year or 2 after Google Reader shut down (was using Tiny RSS for a while). Maybe it's a particular feed that's messed up?
It's possible. I've looked at some feed sources and didn't see anything obviously wrong. I suspect TheOldReader also because if I go to view only a specific feed, the entries are sorted correctly newest-first, but displayed publish times go something like "... February 2003; ... January 2003; ... September 2020; 2 hours ago" but on hover the "September 2020" and "2 hours ago" change to their correct 2003 publish dates.
A couple questions about this. Does it allow me to see articles from a single feed, or do I have to look at everything in an HN like format? Also will it accept OPML import? I really don't want to add over 500 feeds by hand.
Switched to inoreader very recently, after having been on Feedly ever since Google reader died. Honestly don't see much of a difference in terms of functionality, but the interface looks and feels somewhat better, so I'm sticking around for now.
Of all the RSS readers I have used I found this to be the most functional and UI friendly.
The only feature that I would like it per-folder scan tracking (Mark items as read when you scroll past them). It is currently system wide based on the View types (magazine, list, etc.)
I am also happy user of Inoreader. The best feature it has is the ability to subscribe to the "global" feed. For example, when I'm waiting for some specific thing (like product launch or announcement) I can make a global search instead of some subscription.
Same, the word highlighting feature is something I use a lot.
Makes it easy to spot some articles just by scanning for an highlighted word.
I bought multiple years of "Supporter" level while it was cheap and some features I like were moved into a more expensive tier, and I'm glad I did because the features are grandfathered in until I need to renew.
I used to use Feedly, but it was too slow for my taste. Started using Inoreader a couple of years ago and I love it enough to pay for it. Has all of the display and sorting options I could want, as well as keyword highlights and more.
This thing is packed with features, yet simple to use. Not only is it the best RSS reader I've ever used, it's up there in the top 10 of all software, of any kind, I've ever used.

[ 2.7 ms ] story [ 268 ms ] threadHow is allowing feeds from a particular site a "feature"? They actually had to do extra work to block those feeds for the free tier.
Maybe Gmail should add a paid feature to allow email from Amazon.

I need to figure out if there is an export feature, though. I'd like to try some of the other options listed here.
I use it to subscribe to several dozen podcasts, a few webcomics, and a comedian's tour schedule.

Switched and started paying when Reader shut down, haven't regretted it.
I use the pay version because I have so many feeds but I suspect that's more a sign that I have a problem.
The 64 free sites should be enough.

I use Feedly as the syncing engine but never interact with it directly.

Not even sure I need them to de-duplicate updated articles, which it doesn't seem to do.

It's an extension by kickscondor, with some great opinionated UI choices.

I enjoy it enough I actually pay for a yearly subscription for the advanced features (see: https://feeder.co/pricing).
Does exactly what I want and no extra jazz

Used TheOldReader.com when Google killed Reader, then switched to inoreader. Haven't looked back (even though I'm using the free version still).
edit: Adding that I find the android app to be of excellent quality.
