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 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.
I have a feedly account but don’t use their apps or site. I’ve struggled to find a good Android client but Newsify on iOS is great. (I have Android and iOS devices and, at the very least, VMs of desktop OSes for developer reasons. So, Feedly syncing everything is my use case. MacOS, Linux, and iOS have Reeder or Newsflash. I barely use Windows except for building and testing and haven’t tried finding on there but I’d be curious if anyone knows of one.)
My shell script. It just prints out parts of the Atom file highlighted.
Quiterss, you dont need more, give it a go for real, u will not regret 👍👌
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.
Did use tt-rss in the past but switched over to miniflux, as I just wanted something more resource friendly.
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.
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).
If you’re looking for something minimal but highly customizable I’d recommend newsboat. For Android I use feedr.
i love newsboat and it’s always open on my yakuake!
emacs + elfeed
Reasons:
- I’m using emacs for almost everything, so it it is a quite obvious choice
- Links to rss/atom are stored in a plain human readable org-mode file that you can edit manually or use VCS on top
- It works fine from both terminal and gui
- It is a fully OSS solution under The Unlicense
Richard?
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 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.
On iOs Netnewswire is really great.
I’m also using a firefox extension for my RSS feed on Fedora.
For Linux I use Fluent Reader; simple, and looks great.

And for Android I use Read You from F-Droid.

Not sure about cloud syncing between them though - I sync by importing/exporting an .ompl file - mainly because I know exactly where my data is at all times.
