Well, figuring out the sources you want to have in your RSS Feeder is a you task. Gotta know your interests. Find news sites or blogs of those interests and sub their RSS feed.
I use android and use Feeder from the F-droid app store.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

+1 for Feeder! Also there's is and add-on on Firefox Get RSS Feed URL that is very handy
You said firefox but I only see Chrome web store link.
Here is a port on the mozilla addons page... Seems legit but no source code on how it is making the actual build...
I currently use Feedly (its proprietary though)... I have in mind switching to my own instance of FreshRSS which looks awesome and has its mobile compatible apps too.
I would also like to mention two little tricks that made my life easier with RSS:
- First RSSHub: it allows you to made a RSS feed out of almost anything! RSS can be awesome...
- Second, in GitHub if you append '.atom' to any relases of a repostory you get a RSS feed for releases (which I use to track different releases) for example for lemmy https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases.atom
Hope this helps!
I run my own FreshRSS and it’s been a great experience.
Seconding Feedly.
Another vote for feedly. I really would like to switch (since it's not FOSS), but the phone app is just too damn convenient. I need to clear my reading list on the go.
It would probably be helpful if others knew what platforms you preferred to use. 🙂
If you're in Apple's ecosystem, I'm personally fond of Reeder.
If you’re on Apple platforms you can try NetNewsWire. Comes with a Safari extension that you can use to easily use to add a feed and it syncs with iCloud and/or Feedly.
I use the Feeder Android app, it's simple and easy to get set up.
I came across this pdf list while Google searching, but most websites have an RSS feed that you can Google to find the link or find directly from their own webpage.

As for what app I'm using, I came across a bare bones Android reader called Pure RSS
@lunar2m7 I was in the same boat recently. I searched for a service that I controlled. I wanted it to be centralized where I could read it on my phone or on any computer and the read articles would sync.
The best solution I found is Nextcoud News. There's an android app and it seems to be able to sync with some desktop clients (didn't try yet).
Im happy with it now.
I'm self-hosting Tiny Tiny RSS mostly for podcasts and previously also some Reddit subs I was particularly interested in. TTRSS works well for me in that it's OS independent and has phone app for easy listening on the go.
I use NewsBlur. It's sometimes clunky adding an RSS feed but the way you can organize things and do 101 settings is terrific. It's for-pay though (around $30/year? I think) so that may not interest you. But I find it does far more than the free stuff that I tried.
I selfhost a copy of Commafeed since it matches my workflow back when Google Reader existed.
It's browser based so it syncs my read status, has categories, article focused, and some basic content inlining.
I find RSS works best for me when it's some content that I want to see everything for. If a source I follow only updates once a year I want to make sure I don't miss it. Or if I want to ignore a source for a month and come back to it later I can do that too.
