Shouldn't we also try to support open-source alternatives? For example I've been using Capy Reader on my phone, locally without any account.

Yes there are plenty of good open source apps and tools. However if you want to read your feeds on multiple devices and have them synced between them that means you gotta host your own service like FreshRSS for example, which is probably not an option for the average user.
Good point
I've been using Inoreader since the end of Google Reader and: it's amazing, I love it! Solves all my use cases :)
I'm personally quite fond of FreshRSS. it can be self-hosted, but there's a bunch of providers that offer free or pay-what-you-want hosting.
that being said, the last time I used it a few years ago, Inoreader was very decent if you wanted a very straightforward setup that didn't require tinkering.
I came across FreshRSS as well while looking for alternatives to Feedly, but can't be bothered to host it myself and I couldn't figure out how to get an account on any of the providers from the list, I only get a login page but no signup page.
I noticed that some showed no way to sign up, but at least one does. https://rss.cheredeprince.net/ and click
Créer un compte ?
Also some more possibilities: https://www.chatons.org/search/by-service?service_type_target_id=129&field_alternatives_aux_services_target_id=All&field_software_target_id=All&field_is_shared_value=All&title=
I'm unfamiliar with Fresh RSS but I signed up with cheredeprince and have already added a feed, reading it on my PC.
Not sure how to use it on my phone yet.
Before I started to self-host FreshRSS, I used Inoreader, and can highly recommend them.
