I’ve been using inoreader and decided to move to something local instead of cloud based. I found feeder and it is decent, but has one major annoyance for me. The “compact” view that gives you the title and a short blurb gives you uneven rows, and the other options (card and super compact) do not offer the same info.

Are there any other FOSS (or even just local, not cloud based, apps) that have what I’m looking for? I’m happy to pay a few bucks, I just don’t want features locked behind a subscription.

    I used to try and self host RSS but all of them had something I didn’t like so now I pay $5/month for Feedbin and I’ve ever been happier. Works great with Focus Reader on Android.

    Honestly, I’m now looking for the opposite. I started with Feeder on mobile and FeedReader on web (browser extension), but as I find new RSS feeds or look at posts, the use doesn’t sync. So I’m constantly exporting/importing my feeds and looking at content I’ve already seen.

    Does anyone have recommendations for FOSS RSS options that ARE cloud based? @[email protected], was inoreader decent and did you just want a local option?

      I’ve used Feedly and Inoreader. Both are decent cloud options but the prompts to get their subscriptions are annoying (on desktop).

      Inoreader is decent. I just don’t like how many features are locked behind a subscription. And some don’t make sense - downloading articles to your own device requires a subscription. I’m totally fine with features that actually put load on their server requiring a subscription, but downloading an article vs reading it live certainly does not.
