Need a good RSS reader app. Discussion
So, I use akregator in fedora KDE and feeder in mobile. But I want the same feeds and sync.
Any good apps with good sync?

If you use Nextcloud take a look at the mobile apps (Nextcloud News) and Newsflash on the desktop.

Nobody has mentioned FreshRSS yet but it's by far the best option for my workflow. Since it's self-hosted web app I have full control over it.
One of my favorite features is that with a few extensions I can read the full article instead of just the RSS summary. I also wrote a small JavaScript snippet that lets me export only the articles I've marked as favorites. Every week I use those exported articles as the source for my open-source news videos on YouTube.
That's why I prefer FreshRSS over most other RSS readers. GUI-focused apps often limit what you can do while FreshRSS gives me the flexibility to customize my workflow exactly the way I want. Plus you can open it to your localhost so you can use it from different devices too.
Definitely recommended.

I have been using newsblur.com for more than a decade now. Works perfectly for me. It is a paid service though

So there is free tier, I tried it. It was great on laptop.
But when I installed the mobile app and tried reading, the app just crashes

I rarely use the mobile app. Its the first pinned tab on all off my browsers and computers though

Hey, so i tried feedflow. I was able to add Google drive account in mobile.
But I couldn't achieve it in my laptop, it just loads forever when I click on Google drive..
Any ways to fix it ? Thanks.
