I like how GF shows me articles (with images) of different websites and topics.

I tried freshrss, and the general RSS workflow, but it’s somehow too frustrating having 20 articles of the same site when scrolling through the feeds and it also looks somehow dull without images.

But maybe it’s just me not using the right tools.

What do you guys use to aggregate news about different topics?

    I use FreshRss, which I know doesn’t help OP, but I still love it. I get images worth most posts on my feed, assuming the article has one. Just saying…

    Use the app news

    It uses RSS and shows it with nice pictures. You can even open the webpage directly, if you tap on a news.

    Works as standalone RSS Reader, or with Nextcloud. I recommend standalone, the nextcloud news app seems outdated 🤔

    OPML feed import and export are included

    Google Reader was the best. Not sure why Google killed it, but it was really good at both content discovery and keeping up with sites you’re interested in. I tried several alternatives but nothing came close, so I gave up and hung out more on forums / link aggregators like slashdot, hacker news, reddit and now lemmy for content discovery. I’m also interested to hear what others use.

    I use FreshRSS in combination with FiveFilters and RSS-Bridge to get full articles, instead of just snippets, and filter out content I already know I have no interest in.

    For RSS I like ReadYou, for feeds I like Mastodon with a variety of interests followed. There are a surprising number of orgs on Mastodon these days.

    Hi, I also use freshhrss. Self hosted, low maintenance.

    No problem with the images and the feed is quite consistent if you just tag and manage subscriptions in an ordered manner.

    I recommended you to organice your feeds being consistent in what do you want to see in the “main stream”.

    P.s. also activate “mark as read” “while scrolling”. If any site dumps a bunch of consecutive articles I just mark that stream as read and move on.

    Good luck!

    I’ve been using Inoreader for few years and there is no single thing I could complain about. It’s good enough that I’m considering buying a subscription.

    I’m on macOS and iOS and love News Explorer. It syncs my reading progress to all other devices and also has a nice reader mode that pulls the article from the website in full. Apart from that it’s pretty bare-bones, but does exactly what I want.
