I prefer dedicated RSS readers, in particular FreshRSS
I find that a dedicated RSS reader is a much better experience, as, especially when you've got a lot if feeds, organising them and keeping track of what you've read becomes quite important. If you take your eye off of a chat based system, you're going to have so many unread messages it'll be hard to keep up.
I use the news app in nextcloud, you can view the RSS feeds in the web ui or the mobile app. It's all the same
I can highly recommend feed2exec. It's super flexible and lets you easily do anything off the back of an RSS feed item. This way you can abstract away the matrix side and write a minimal matrix plugin to send to matrix rooms, or you can generate static html pages to self-host, or anything else you want within the same framework.
I use it to:
- Save RSS feed entries as plain-text files, so I can read them in
less - Download podcasts, running a pass of
ffmpegover each to reduce file size - Watch releases of open source projects and add a task in taskwarrior for me to review and/or update them
