I use InnoReader, which I prefer to Feedly. Syncs Free plan allows you up to 150 feeds and shows ads (which you can easily get around).

MODERATORS
I use Flym News Reader (Android app). It's open source and you can find it on F-Droid and GitHub. It's not updated anymore but it has the best combination of features (and I've tried a lot of RSS readers). You can easily add news sources because it has a built-in feed search (when you hit the "add feed" button). It can also import OPML feed collections.
Hacker News has long been one of my main news sources. The majority of postings are tech-related but there's a lot of more general content and the moderation is very good. https://news.ycombinator.com/ . I generally use Feedly to browse it.
For excellent, in-depth analysis of world events/politics/economics there's the UK-based publication The Economist - https://www.economist.com/ - which is a paid service (expensive!) but has a lot of free content on the site, esp. if you're signed-up, even as a free user. It's not an aggregator though - more like a better NY Times without all the stupid fluff.
Harmonic is a nice HackerNews app for those who'd like one.
I've started using newsminimalist.com It's one of the most useful LLM based services I've seen. It's an aggregator that uses ChatGPT to identify the significance of stories and group the articles on different sites about that story together and then summarise them.
I don't want to spend hours every day reading news, but I do want to keep up to date with major events and it's been good for that.
RSS feeds from PBS and NPR
What XML link do you use for them?
no source is truly unbiased, but I am also curious about where to find news/worldnews - there's a few non-beehaw options but they're not updated that often.
for tech stuff I always default to arstech, cnet, and slashdot, but I honestly dont feel like navigating between all of the various disparate news websites on a daily basis - or even a weekly basis to be honest.

This is a perfect use case for a feed reader.
any suggestions on a good feed reader?
I self host TinyTinyRSS (ttrss).
