Any rss reader which aggregates feeds

On Thunderbird for example, there's no way to aggregate feeds from different places, into just one common view. I'm looking for aggregating all feeds from different places into a common view, where I can globally just keep what I want to read from everywhere and remove what I'm not interested on.

Notice just the view needs to be joint, and one can remove stuff from the joint view, but in reality one would be removing stuff from each feeds provider.

Not sure if such client is available for gnu+linux, and hopefully a GTK one.

Edit: Trying newsflash. At the beginning I didn't want to try webkitgtk based packages, since it was supposed to be insecure, however stock packages are depending on it, so I guess there's no much trouble now a days. webkit2gtk was the safe bet that I remember. So considering this query as solved for now, :) Many thanks to all.

Edit 2: On TB I can remove feeds I don't want to keep, which rss readers can do that? On newsflash at least I don't see a way to remove stuff. So for sure that'll consume a lot of space depending on the amount of articles. Or am I missing something?

It does have a "All articles" view, :) I'll go for it. On Arch it depends on webkitgtk, which some time back was considered insecure, and webkit2gtk was supposed to be the only one to use. Perhaps that changed...

Thanks !

I t doesn't seem I can remove stuff from newsflash, only mark stuff as read. This might be problematic long term, when using local RSS.

I'm not sure I understand... I thought all readers did this.

Doesn't liferea do it? (It's also gtk iirc)

Well, Thunderbird doesn't, so I couldn't tell if all others were the same, :(

Thanks !

You're welcome!

Had no idea that thunderbird didn't do it, sounds like a pretty basic feature to me.

Liferea has "search folders" that let you define conditions for which stories/feeds show up in them.

Thanks, I'll keep it as a 2nd option, since it's Electron based.

I am new to Linux and the concept of "rss",I have use fluent reader on Linux and feeder for Android to read news which support rss service.However,I still don't understand what is aggregator and why do I need it? The only thing I have done so far is copy the rss link and paste to my rss reader. Could anyone eli5 to me?
