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…

I use Feeder which has been awesome so far for me
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 I recommend standalone, the nextcloud news app seems outdated 🤔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
I built my own, it doesnt do what you ask, but it does what I want 🙂

Thanks for linking it, that’s a pretty cool idea.
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.
They couldn’t effectively serve ads through it lol
If they can shove ads into the GMail UI I’m sure they could have found a place to put them in Google Reader.
Ad money machine didn’t go brrrrrr
GReader was so good, now it’s just another ghost in Google’s graveyard. :( My guess is that they killed it because it was kinda in the same sphere as Google News.
I use Feedly. It’s not Google News, but it works well, the mobile app is great, and it’s not going to be killed on a whim.
TT-RSS has worked well for me since Google Reader was killed.
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.
Nextcloud news is alright
I’m digging Pluma on my android as a 2ndary to GF.
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.

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.
It’s not self hosted, but I spent some time curating the news feed on Bing. It works well enough that I felt comfortable switching from Google Feed, and I don’t have to worry about self-hosting random news feeds.
I use Feeder
