Lifehacker is still around? Haven't seen that name in years
It’s a shell of its former self. I miss Gina Tripani era Lifehacker.
I highly recommend NewsBlur if you don’t want to host your own.
I started fiddling with a self hosted rss thing but never got around to putting the app on my new phone. I might give a different one a try sometime it was kinda basic.
Definitely try "Read You"! It utilises Material You, has a sick UI and the dev is really nice. I think there are a lot of features, but I've just left almost everything on default.
Downloaded Feeder. It seems like a really good way to read the articles, but I also like looking at the comments, as they often mimic the threads here on Lemmy, and can add information missing in the articles, auxillary information, and cool anecdotes. I'll see if this becomes the way I look at the articles.
newsboat is also quite stable as a RSS reader. if you like command line
The example feed in that article is so boring that it makes me want to kill myself.
Does anybody have any recommendations for FOSS RSS readers with actual content surfacing features? So many RSS feeds are full of junk (this is particularly a problem with feeds with wildly disparate posting frequencies) and I've always felt they'd be a lot more useful if people were putting more effort into a modern way to sort through extremely dense feeds.
Not FOSS, but ad free and its been able to find the hidden RSS feeds for things OK. FeedDemon at: http://bradsoft.com/
Probably not what you are after, but maybe someone with a similar question.
When Google’s shut down I switched to Feedly. They even imported my Google settings so there was no downtime. I’ve been paying for their Pro version ever since. It’s a really good app!
If anyone is using an apple device, NetNewsWire is open source and is dead simple. No extra features, no premium tier, can sync with iCloud or self hosted servers, and the reader mode can be applied source-wide.

i find it frustrating if i can't immediately tell the poster of a site their content is wrong or sucks or is generally bad. therefore social media is my only option, because the world must know my valuable contributions.....🤌🤌
