And how do you optimize your workflow based on the feeds? Extra thanks if you are working as an academic researcher gathering feeds from different journals
I use Elfeed for Emacs, as just one small part of Emacs’s slow conquest of other programs on my computer. Before that, I used Liferea, which is a nice standalone feed reader.
Elfeed lets me assign each feed in my list different tags, so I can do basic filtering for what I want to read at any given time. I generally avoid subscribing to any high-density feeds like news sites. I prefer to have maybe a dozen or so links per day that definitely interest me.
I use morss.it to fetch the full text from feeds that only provide a brief summary.
I was briefly surprised, and then immediately thereafter totally unsurprised that Emacs can be your RSS reader.
I’m using Feeder currently, but I am looking into setting up FreshRSS or Miniflux for easier cross-device use.

The so is simple enough to do just what I want it to, but also has some likeable quirks.
FreshRSS on my raspberry pi. I admittedly don’t have a super good way to optimize my workflow regarding journals. I added Nature and intended to add more, including more specialized journals for my field, but its feed alone proved to be about as much as I could keep up with. If you’re in medical or life sciences, you could try adding feeds based on PubMed searches (there’s a “Create RSS” button under the search bar on the results page); you’ll get a feed of new papers that match your search terms. I don’t know what resources like PubMed there are for other fields and what they might offer in this regard, though.
I use Newsboat, it does what I need.
I use the RSS reader in thunderbird, keeps the emails and news in the same place
I self-host FreshRSS. I’m pretty happy with it. It works well and you can add extensions to customize it if you need something particular. And I use the browser extension so I get notifications for new articles.
I used to use Feedly before. It was pretty alright, but I got annoyed by just how many things you needed to pay for
FreshRSS is solid. I hadn’t heard of it until I saw it mentioned on lemmy, installed it, and I love it. The bookmarklet is great, too.
Currently I use Feedly, but if I had the time I’d love to have a CLI aggregator on my Linux box.
Nextcloud News
Does well enough and I use Nextcloud for various other things already.
So no real reason to use anything else.I use Feedbin as my syncing backend and the excellent Reeder on iPhone and iPad to read the feeds.
When GReader died, I switched to Feedly for a bit, but then found InoReader and have stuck with them since. It’s got the most options for customization/organization and filters/rules that I need and the Android app is great.
I use Reeder 5. It’s nice, no complaints.
