I use it for news aggregation with Nextcloud news. Also for podcasts and PeerTube channels. Anyone using RSS for other things?

My use is not foss because I didn't find something that fits my needs better than Inoreader. There is the android app which works fine and also a very nice web interface that I can use at work because without thumbnails it looks like a 'boring' list of stuff.

Never used Inoreader, but recently switched to Newsblur which is open source (app installable via F-Droid) and selfhostable. If you don't want to self host they have a freemium model to use their hosted service, couldn't tell you what free vs paid gets you but I haven't bumped into any limits yet. You can also log in to their site to browse via web browser.

So far the app looks better than other open source readers I've tried and thumbnails generally load so the lists are a bit livelier.

Yes, I already tested newsblur. The only thing I remember is that, for my needs, Inoreader is superior. I forgot the details why tbh.
