From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm personally using NewsFlash at the moment, and it's perfectly fine, but its borders are completely incongruous with my theme, I assume they're based around Gnome and I'm on Plasma, so I'm looking for a new one and was wondering what people here use?

On top of one for Linux, I'd be curious on if any of you have recommendations for Android or iOS, as only being able to check the news on my pc has led to me relying on RSS a bit less than I'd like.

I quite like Thunderbird for this.

Oh, I did not even know it supported RSS/Atom, that's lovely! I think I'll move to that then, thank you :D

Newsboat, which others recommended, also seems interesting, but I personally appreciate images, so that one is sadly a no-go for me, even if being able to ssh into a home server to check up on news, instead of having to sync the feeds across multiple devices, would be absolutely lovely.

emacs + elfeed

Reasons:

  1. I'm using emacs for almost everything, so it it is a quite obvious choice
  2. Links to rss/atom are stored in a plain human readable org-mode file that you can edit manually or use VCS on top
  3. It works fine from both terminal and gui
  4. It is a fully OSS solution under The Unlicense

If you're on Plasma, then why not go with Akgregator?

I don't like how official apps look with a different plasma theme sometimes

I don't personally use that much RSS in my computer (more on the phone) but I do know of a terminal RSS reader called newsboat.

In terms of android, I use feeder, its available on fdroid and you can also install it via obtainium

I use fluent reader on all of my devices connected to my freshrss server back home.

I self-host FreshRSS as a container with podman behind Traefik on a raspberry pi 5 and use the web interface on desktop and FeedMe on android. Pretty happy with the setup.

Just Thunderbird is fine for me, has all the features I want and I already get my email there (but even if I didn't I'd struggle to find an RSS reader with its features).

I use Feedly (a website that fills the same role as Google Reader) but I'm not that happy with it nowadays since they seem to be pushing for AI nonsense. Any of you self-hostey people got any suggestions for hosted RSS readers, ideally ones with NixOS modules?

I've been enjoying FreshRSS for the last couple of years.

If you're looking for something minimal but highly customizable I'd recommend newsboat. For Android I use feedr.

[–] furzegulo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

i love newsboat and it's always open on my yakuake!

Did use tt-rss in the past but switched over to miniflux, as I just wanted something more resource friendly.

My shell script. It just prints out parts of the Atom file highlighted.

I am pretty happy with QuiteRSS. Has a built in browser with adblocking, but easy right click options to open tan external browser. Easy to set up feeds and filters.
