I've been doing the same. The issue is finding high quality feeds with full articles. Most are just a snippet of the article with a link saying "read the full story at..." (The Verge, PBS, The Guardian). Others are even worse and just link directly to the shit-laden website (Ars Technica). The best quality news feeds I've found are Techdirt and The Intercept. Would you care to share some good RSS news feeds you've found?

So for those style websites, FreshRSS (my server)/and CabyReader (my client) offer options to parse the linked article for content.

They mostly get the full article without tinkering but other sites I use css selectors to get the article section of the website.

Then I press the "parse" button if the article is just a summary and it'll get the whole article.

That said, I do put more emphasis on following individuals rather than large sites like those you mentioned. So I have a couple dozen individual blogs followed, but also a handful of sites like NewScientist, BigThink, AndroidPolice, TinyBuddha, VICE

Okay, that's very cool. I'm into self-hosting and will look into running FreshRSS to parse sites and feed me articles. Much appreciated!

It stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's basically a subscriber feed of websites - you choose a website to get updates about and the aggregator will keep an ear out for updates.

I mostly use it for webcomics.
