Best FOSS RSS reader for Linux?
I've tried Raven but it's archived and not maintained anymore, Fluent Reader and Feeds both of which doesn't feel smooth at all. Any recommendations? Preferably desktop and not a self-hosted service.

Newsflash is the best from all I tested and even works nice on mobile.
Seems very promising!
I've tried them all. He's right. It's the best. It's very reliable.
Linux phone. UI is very good there.
I like newsboat
I use RSS Guard
RSSGuard for most things, newsboat for keeping track of software releases on github.
RSS Guard was actually great. I love the more old-school but super functional UI. I don't need any fancy stuff, just stuff that works. Awesome tip.
Sort of the opposite of what you asked, but adding here to increase variety
I just use miniflux, self hosted is easy if you have docker-compose and you could access it from your browser locally. It also works great on mobile.
services.miniflux.enable = trueon NixOS is even easierMy personal favourite is fluent reader
Not very good for organizing more than a few feeds
How so? I have many feeds oeganized under different groups, and that works well for me. What functionality would you have wanted?
It works pretty well for me, the home page has them all. The side bar lists each source individually. You can save articles for later. Im not sure if it has groups to organise feeds as iv not checked that. Mostly i just enjoy the look and feel as it has a good design and the app image is fast (flatpak is slow)
Also re: @[email protected]
I want to be able to drag around folders into other folders and select multiple feeds at once. Fluent has one of the best ways of displaying a completed feed. I still use CommaFeed to organize my feeds and edit the OPML document from it in a text editor because the organization of the nested folders is still crap.
I want to, for instance, select one folder to export it as an OPML file
That's fair if your looking for those specific features. Hopefully its added to fluent reader or a fork
Gnus.el
If a firefox add-on is okay: Brief
Terminal
I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo...
In case you like feature-rich software, QuiteRSS is good.
Pulp.
Preferred the way the old version looked, but I can't really fault liferea
I like Read You. It integrates nicely with FreshRSS, too.
