I am still new to privacy, please steer me. I see that many use RSS feeds to get their news. I was trying to use neuters as a front end to get my RSS feed started and cannot get it going.
Is a front-end even necessary for RSS feed? Does it help with tracking? Am I approaching my news aggregator the wrong way?
I tried searching RSS generator websites for neuters since I couldn’t just load the webpage into the app, but many are paid or require accounts. I have steered away from that at the moment. I just assumed every website could enroll in RSS…I was completely wrong.
I wanted to set up with NetNewsWire on ios.
I am willing to go an entire new direction with the collective knowledge from this community.
Do you know if different rss readers are more privacy friendly than others? How did you decide?

The most private rss readers is one that is installed on your device, doesn’t require an account, is open source and has no trackers. Feeder from F-Droid is a good example of this.
The worse would be a website type that requires a paid account and only takes a credit card.
Good question, I have absolutely no idea. I chose feedly based on a different thread here talking about good rss feeds for news, I didn’t put much thought into privacy.
