When Google Reader went down, I migrated to Feedly and all the 3rd party apps switched too. Basically every news site supports it (usually with per-topic feeds) and it’s great for keeping up with things like podcasts, software releases, and things like that. Anything that isn’t super urgent but you don’t want to miss an update about is ideal for RSS.
I used to use Twitter for breaking news before it went fash but Mastodon and BlueSky are fine for that (and getting better every day). And I’ve always hated algorithmic news tools; every time I try one, I just get topics I don’t care about from low quality sources that I’d never read. So, I just stuck with RSS.
