(only recently federated so sorry if this has been asked billions of times)

What's the best RSS reader for android?

My criteria are:

  • Material 3 design
  • FOSS

I'm using Feeder for Android. It's open source (Gitlab) and free as in beer.

Looks pretty good! Not the best design imo though. Will use this until I find a better alternative.

I think it's worth giving it a chance.

I liked it once I set the article style to super compact. Block list is really nice too if you have a rss that throws in unrelated material from time to time like ads disguised as articles.

Another option is Read You. Good design in general.

I went on a long search for the ideal reader, but ended up settling on using Mastodon as the feed reader instead.

That looks really good! Also has the option to import from opml which I needed.

What theme is that? Looks just like sync for lemmy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's Material 3 (aka Material You), the new standard android design language

I came here to suggest Read You

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This looks fantastic. Thanks for the recommendation!

Any that sync with other devices? I'm looking to set up a self hosted option, but I'll see what else there is :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I like https://miniflux.app/ It is not an app, but a selfhosted web page, and works great

i personally like feedme - it's not m3 as asked in the op, but it's the most feature-filled android client that i could find, that syncs with inoreader

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

After a few attempts with different apps I've found Nextcloud News works well for me and it syncs to my self hosted Nextcloud server. Which I can also sync with desktop apps.

Well not FOSS, but pluma is good. If you need something very robust then Inoreader gets job done as it's cross-platform.
