Yeah, I know. Throwback! But people still do use RSS feed readers (like myself)

Any recommendations for a good RSS reader?

Fully agree with that. The free version is awesome as-is, but I pay for the premium one and it's one of the few subscriptions that I never think of canceling.

Recently I've been also using Inoreader to "subscribe" to YouTube accounts and I love it cause that let me cancel my YT account since I don't need it anymore

This was my go-to before switching to the self-hosted Miniflux and it's still my recommendation to anyone who wants a good RSS tool. The best one I've found since Google Reader.

If you're willing to look into self-hosted options, FreshRSS is great. I also know of Tiny Tiny RSS but I haven't used it myself.

I rocked tt-rss for 8+ years, self hosting. Very configurable for me and it was basically my youtube homepage. However I'll say that on more than one occasion the update was not trivial.

Have been using Feedly for 10 years, very happy with it.

A self-hosted instance of miniflux. After trying several other options over the years, I settled on this one.

That's a wide open topic, but for self-hosted I use FreshRSS with Full Text RSS coupled to it to get the full text of feeds. For desktop, I like cross-platform open-source Fluent Reader (just did a video about it today in fact) - again because it pulls in full text and can still sync reading progress across devices through multiple services inc FreshRSS, Nextcloud, and others.

Thunderbirds RSS support is really great. Here’s a list of good self hosted apps if you’d rather go that route: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#feed-readers
