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.

Seems very promising!

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

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

I like newsboat

I use RSS Guard

[–] Trent@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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 6 months 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...

Gnus.el

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

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

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Terminal

[–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

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

[–] xcutie@linux.community 1 points 6 months ago

If a firefox add-on is okay: Brief

[–] heyazorin@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Pulp.

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