I use Feedbin as my syncing backend and the excellent Reeder on iPhone and iPad to read the feeds.
On Android ReadYou is sooo nice looking. Still missing some features.
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.
Nextcloud News
Does well enough and I use Nextcloud for various other things already.
So no real reason to use anything else.
I use Reeder 5. Itβs nice, no complaints.
I used to use Thunderbird, but switched to Nextcloud News to make it work across multiple devices
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.
