I've tried Raven but it's archived and not maintained anymore, Fluent Reader and Feeds both of which doesn't feel smooth at all. Any recommendations? Preferably desktop and not a self-hosted service.

Newsflash is the best from all I tested and even works nice on mobile.

I've tried them all. He's right. It's the best. It's very reliable.

[–] IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

Seconded. Newsflash does everything I need and looks pretty smooth.

I use RSS Guard

[–] Trent@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.

[–] Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

RSS Guard was actually great. I love the more old-school but super functional UI. I don't need any fancy stuff, just stuff that works. Awesome tip.

My personal favourite is fluent reader

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sort of the opposite of what you asked, but adding here to increase variety

I just use miniflux, self hosted is easy if you have docker-compose and you could access it from your browser locally. It also works great on mobile.

[–] toastal@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

services.miniflux.enable = true on NixOS is even easier

I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo...

Preferred the way the old version looked, but I can't really fault liferea

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

In case you like feature-rich software, QuiteRSS is good.

If a firefox add-on is okay: Brief

I like Read You. It integrates nicely with FreshRSS, too.
