npub1wstchnnatqhe4ua983uhsn7k0mlvxlrdl8nfjledgr6ez7hcppdspcez75 (npub1wst…ez75) I tried several and found absolutely none that I liked, but then I only want to read my feeds in what is sometimes called "magazine" or "newspaper" view (it's basically the view that lets you read the full text of all your articles with fewest mouse clicks - I HATE HATE HATE readers that ONLY show the headlines or post titles and require you to click on the headline to see the full text!).
So, finally I gave up and created an account at https://reader.websitemachine.nl which is a public #FreshRSS server. Definitely not my first choice but better than any other Linux program, and if you have the skills and server space (which I am sure you do) you can run FreshRSS on your own system. I would MUCH prefer a standalone program that let me read RSS feeds that way (not in a web browser as is the case with FreshRSS) but apparently the Linux developers of reader software love having to use multiple mouse clicks to read their news, or else they only read headlines.
There used to be a Windows program called GreatNews that worked the way I liked (20 years ago when I last used Windows) but it has not been updated in ages apparently, and the last available version looks terrible when run using WINE. In MacOS there was a program called Vienna that worked that way but for some inexplicable reason they took out the "broadsheet clippings" style that made that work, although if you had the old version there was still a way to make it work, but I no longer remember what it was and that is a MacOS-only program anyway. Anyway this is one of the few things that I use every day and for which I have yet to find a good Linux app.
