On iOS and macOS, it's hard to beat NetNewsWire.
On Android, I use Feeder.
On Windows and Linux, go for QuiteRSS.
I'm an RSS newbie, but I need to +1 Feeder. I tried a handful, and it was easily my favourite from the get-go.
+2 for Feeder
I love the "News" addon in nextcloud
The mobile app is quite nice aswell
I know this is the FOSS community but I personally recommend inoreader. It has great usability through its keyboard shortcuts and the ability to pull the full article from the website without clutter (similar to reader add-ons).
If anyone knows a FOSS alternative with similar features, I'd like to know.
Same here. I also really like that they sync YouTube subscription and allow to follow Facebook pages, so I barely ever need to open these two websites.

Newsboat
I am not one of these terminal wizards. I do heck of a lot in the terminal, though. One thing I never thought I'd do in browse RSS feeds.
But, a few years back I was in a situation where my only working computer was a Raspberry Pi so I found myself using Newsboat and I realised the big deal.
For what Plattform?
On a terminal I would recommend newsboat. It has an amazing TUI.
Web or iOS. I don’t care at all about feed discovery and am not in a position to self host. Probably should have said both things up at the top 😅 but on the bright side, people who do care ended up getting some recommendations they can use!
I got started with RSS using a TUI program on unix, whose name I forget. But then Google came out with Reader (and Listen for podcasts). When they lost interest and dropped them, I exported my OPML and switched to apps I could find on f-droid. Now I back up my OPML scrupulously and am currently happy with Feeder and Antennapod; Google taught me I didn't want to depend on someone else's server for something like this; it's too important. If ever I find I want some feature that requires a server, I'll self-host something (Nextcloud?), but I seem to be well enough served by purely local clients.
I'm using feeder on android. It's really simple, but has all the necessary features imo. It's on f-droid and is getting updates.
I test out a few readers, but my fav is actually newsboat for the Linux terminal. gfeeds is an okay graphical reader though.
On Android I barely use curator, and when I had iphone, I liked simplerss.
If you don't mind selfhosting, miniflux is pretty nice.
Really lightweight, downloads the full text if possible (instead of just the first paragraph), etc.
Thunderbird has all I need for RSS, newer style readers I find tend to be lacking in some way.
If you've got a selfhosted nextcloud, install the news app/extension and use the respective nextcloud news app on android. It's great and you don't loose your subscriptions, favourites and read status when changing phone or reinstalling...
And there's a good Android client for it!
Fiery Feeds on iOS.
I use Fluent Reader but I have to admit it's a bit janky in terms of UX. It also doesn't have built in feed discovery like inoreader but at least its (ad)free. It does its job well enough.
On Android, I use Feeder. On my Arch Linux laptop, I use Thunderbird.
In case anyone's looking at this 3 months later, I finally got down to getting an RSS Feed Reader and downloaded NetNewsWire on my iPhone.
