I selfhost a copy of Commafeed since it matches my workflow back when Google Reader existed.

It’s browser based so it syncs my read status, has categories, article focused, and some basic content inlining.

I find RSS works best for me when it’s some content that I want to see everything for. If a source I follow only updates once a year I want to make sure I don’t miss it. Or if I want to ignore a source for a month and come back to it later I can do that too.
