RSS is still pretty great
NetNewsWire is excellent. Clean, responsive, blends into the desktop, and doesn't have memory leak issues like so many macOS RSS readers do. I wish all software could be like it.

Show HN: Twine – Gorgeous open source multiplatform RSS app
And like with most multiplatform apps, it doesn't look native at all on iOS. I prefer my current combination of: https://netnewswire.com + https://miniflux.app

Reddit may force Apollo and third-party clients to shut down, asking for $20M per year API fee
+1 for NetNewsWire. No pushes for engagement, no upsells for premium features, just a simple and rock solid app that does exactly what you want and does it well. I would 100% pay for it as it’s a very high quality app, but the developers would prefer happy users to focus elsewhere.
