And how do you optimize your workflow based on the feeds? Extra thanks if you are working as an academic researcher gathering feeds from different journals

    I use Elfeed for Emacs, as just one small part of Emacs’s slow conquest of other programs on my computer. Before that, I used Liferea, which is a nice standalone feed reader.

    Elfeed lets me assign each feed in my list different tags, so I can do basic filtering for what I want to read at any given time. I generally avoid subscribing to any high-density feeds like news sites. I prefer to have maybe a dozen or so links per day that definitely interest me.

    I use morss.it to fetch the full text from feeds that only provide a brief summary.

    Liferea, in Linux. Simple interface, no fuss, you can split your RSS feeds into folders.

    I’m using Feeder currently, but I am looking into setting up FreshRSS or Miniflux for easier cross-device use.

    I self-host FreshRSS. I’m pretty happy with it. It works well and you can add extensions to customize it if you need something particular. And I use the browser extension so I get notifications for new articles.

    I used to use Feedly before. It was pretty alright, but I got annoyed by just how many things you needed to pay for

    FreshRSS on my raspberry pi. I admittedly don’t have a super good way to optimize my workflow regarding journals. I added Nature and intended to add more, including more specialized journals for my field, but its feed alone proved to be about as much as I could keep up with. If you’re in medical or life sciences, you could try adding feeds based on PubMed searches (there’s a “Create RSS” button under the search bar on the results page); you’ll get a feed of new papers that match your search terms. I don’t know what resources like PubMed there are for other fields and what they might offer in this regard, though.
