Akregator alternative?

I use Akregator on my Arch KDE install in my laptop. But since I moved to EndeavourOS Cinnamon on my miniPC, I realized I hadn’t installed an RSS Reader yet. And Akregator wanted to install a million KDE bits…

So, can anyone recommend a good alternative to Akregator for EOS Cinnamon? I prefer an actual app as opposed to a browser extension.

I have RSS Guard installed, but I’m going to be evaluating Fluent Reader, GFeeds (Feeds), Liferea, and Newsflash.

Take a look at It’sfoss. I think there’s something for you. I would suggest liferea for cinnamon desktop

Just got it set up. Started my Tech News folder. I’ll add more interests once I feel comfortable and decide whether or not to keep it. The only thing I miss from this is minimize/close to tray. But looking good so far, though! Thanks, @swh!

Perfect! Liferea looks good on GTK
