FreshRSS has been amazing, as you said, other readers have other goals in mind and seems RSS is just an add-on.
On Android’s also there are no good clients, I’ve been using the PWA which is good enough.
There are several extensions for mobile menu improvements, I have Smart Mobile Menu
, Mobile Scroll Menu
and Touch Control
(it works great on Firefox, but not on brave, it’s too sensitive there, so YMMV).
There’s also ReadingTime
, but there are feeds which don’t send the whole body of the post, so you might only see a 1minute read because of that.
The extension AutoTTL
processes the feeds and makes them update only when it’s more likely for them to get new items instead of every X minutes configured by FreshRSS.
Still there’s a problem when the MaxTTL happens, all feeds are allowed to be updated and you might hit some rate limits, so I developed a rate limiter. Still there’s a problem with AutoTTL because how extensions are loaded and with the http code reported by FreshRSS.
I found this project which receive the emails of newsletters and turns them into a RSS feed, I’ve only used it for one feed and I’ve only received one entry, not sure if the newsletter is that bad or if the site struggles to receive/show them. Haven’t tried something it.

There’s also this repo linking a lot of sites with feeds, and some sites which don’t offer feeds directly are provided via feedburner (which seems it’s a Google service and wikipedia says "primarily for monetizing RSS feeds, primarily by inserting targeted advertisements into them"
, so use those at your own discretion)

You can search for all communities of all instances, or click in a specific instance.
iDrive e2 with duplicati and manually to an external SSD with rscyn every so often.
I was planing on asking a friend to setup a server at their home, but I feel somewhat comfortable with the current solution.
