@CanadaPlus@SpectralPineapple Ive been using Plenary on Android which does a pretty good job of pulling full articles when available. Don't think its FOSS but its seems to be focused on privacy to a certain extent. I love that it can create a custom widget that can replace the google surveillance oriented click bait feed.
I've been experimenting with a few different options on desktop. @thunderbird has been the go to for me for a long time. Since playing with Google Reader lifetimes ago.
Support for reading RSS as well as ActivityPub is why I ended up choosing Friendica over Mastodon. RSS articles appear in my feed just like Fediverse posts. It's very handy.
Interesting! I view it almost completely oppositely (the RSS feeds I read are separate from social media on purpose, even though I often use RSS to glue things together); I'm glad there's options.
@StevenSaus@thunderbird@Inoreader@samsantaella@resol@feditips I used to keep them in Feedly but found with Lists (called Circles in Friendica but same thing) that I could separate by topics or feeds or whatever and eliminate one more service. A side benefit is that Feedly has limited client platform support whereas Fedi has good support everywhere I want to be. The only thing I miss from my RSS reader is the mark as read functionality. For me that isn't a deal breaker though.
