I like how GF shows me articles (with images) of different websites and topics.
I tried freshrss, and the general RSS workflow, but it’s somehow too frustrating having 20 articles of the same site when scrolling through the feeds and it also looks somehow dull without images.
But maybe it’s just me not using the right tools.
What do you guys use to aggregate news about different topics?
Google Reader was the best. Not sure why Google killed it, but it was really good at both content discovery and keeping up with sites you’re interested in. I tried several alternatives but nothing came close, so I gave up and hung out more on forums / link aggregators like slashdot, hacker news, reddit and now lemmy for content discovery. I’m also interested to hear what others use.
GReader was so good, now it’s just another ghost in Google’s graveyard. :( My guess is that they killed it because it was kinda in the same sphere as Google News.

They couldn’t effectively serve ads through it lol
If they can shove ads into the GMail UI I’m sure they could have found a place to put them in Google Reader.
Ad money machine didn’t go brrrrrr
