Hi everyone, I’m looking for an RSS feed reader available both for PC (Windows and/or Linux) and Android. I would like to have my feed synced and organized in the same way (and maybe some backup functionality too).
Do you have any suggestions? Or do you know some other way I could accomplish that?
I’ve been using Inoreader for a good while now. It’s everything I wanted Google Reader to become.
Web based, runs everywhere, there’s a mobile app - supports keyboard shortcuts etc.Does have free (ad supported) and subscription based models.
https://www.inoreader.com/pricingI would happily pay for a good software, but no way I’m gonna put myself under a subscription plan. Subscription plan are the worst!
Thank for the suggestion though!
It’s 1,67 €/month, but sure, each to their own.
The price is absolutely fair, but I just don’t like the subscription model in general.
fair enough
I tried many alternatives (like feedly or theoldreader), self-hosted for a bit, and eventually ended up using inoreader. I’ve paid for it for years, but the ad-supported version is great.
It lets me do what I need on all my machines, regardless of OS. The app on both android and ios are solid. The web interface has keyboard shortcuts that make zipping through the feed a breeze. I can group sources together and view/manage them as a group (or individually). It is both feature-rich and simple.
The Old Reader would be my runner-up recommendation, but Inoreader is what I use.

there was a post on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml not long ago, if you’re looking for more suggestions: https://lemmy.ml/post/2006550
i use miniflux (you need to host this yourself, no idea how nice it would be to use locally) and then miniflutt on android
I like miniflux as well. Probably worth noting that the dev offers paid hosting.
Yes, syncing is critical for me too. I self-host FreshRSS (will run on a Pi) and can access from my desktop browser or phone browser. I also pair it with Full Text RSS so that it pulls in the full text of the article. Otherwise, you have to look at Inoreader, Feedly, or similar, but they have limitations on their free tiers.
some people might want to avoid Feddly due to their approach to protests: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/110113208809822962
tt-rss (tiny tiny RSS) might be exactly what you’ve ever wanted with RSS.
I’ll look into it! Thanks!
There are lots of options for RSS clients that supports 3rd party synchronization services like Feedbin, Feedly, FreshRSS (selfhosted AFAIK). I prefer NetNewsWire client for both macOS and iOS as it supports Feedly integration.
Couldn’t find any pleasant looking RSS client on Windows but I got used to browse Feedly in my browser daily instead.
For the organization and synchronization, I have no issues with Feedly so far. But if you’re looking for something else, there are lots of client and service options that can suit you better. (Try searching “RSS” on GitHub)
feedly

so the mental shortcut between two screenshots in your link is not really explained. how does analysing open data equals “shameful help with union busting”?
For those who use Mac/iOS, I really like the look and feel of Reeder, it’s been my go to rss client for years.
My recommendation is NetNewsWire. Looks like an app made by Apple themselves and it is open source.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try
I was using inoreader for a while, but currently I’m just using a small application to convert the RSS feeds in e-mails and adding them to my mailbox with IMAP. This allows me to use any email client to read the feeds.
I’m using my own app, but there are a few open source ones if you search for rss to IMAP or feed to IMAP.
This is interesting!
That’s a great idea. Might have to try this myself.
Ugh. I went to Feedly after Google Reader went kaput (why did then end that, it was great). I went back to Feedly about a week ago after leaving Reddit. So now I’m on the hunt again.
I would also greatly appreciate free non-selfhosted RSS suggestions for desktop and Android phone.
Newsblur is foss app with sustainable business model. Has Android on fdroid; but desktop is web version only
I like #newsblur too. I have paid for it for years now (though it is free).
What I like best about it is that it caches the text and images of the site so I don’t get all the ads etc.
Every year or so I go around looking at others but always go back.
I still use The Old Reader online. Don’t need more.
