I’ve been using an app called Summit for Lemmy, and it feels very RiF-esque. RiF was the only way I used Reddit, and it’s made the transition very easy. In fact, in some ways, I feel it’s done some quality of life stuff even better than RiF did, like color coding comment chains, which makes it easier to keep track of who’s responding to who.
Feedly’s been solid after Google killed Google reader. But they’ve been adding features that make it more similar to Flipboard. I’m also looking for something simple and straight to the point.
I use Feeder, and most sites I’m interested in have RSS feeds discovered if I plug in just the URL of their front page. Other sites can be a bit more of a pain, bit you can often just add /RSS or /feeds to the URL and the readers will work it out.
I used RIF, but I remember a lot of people loved sync for reddit, so I plan to jump on the bandwagon.

I wish they had chosen Lemmy instead. I loved that app and still haven’t had the heart to delete from my phone.

RiF went to tildes, if you hadn’t heard.
I’d heard that, but I’m not super interested in tildes. Lemmy and the fediverse have been great.
Agreed. I’m moving past the idea of link aggregators in general now. I’m back into RSS now, and skipping the endless scrolling.
Where would I start for RSS? Genuinely…
I’m also curious. What Readers are people using these days? Preferably on android?

I’ve been using Read You from F-Droid. It’s still in early-ish development but it’s simple with a clean design.
I use Inoreader and recommend it. I pay for Pro.

Freshrss has a self-hosted option or you can sign up to a community driven server.
