yea, rss readers are a balance. my biggest problem with them is that they all seem feature-incomplete and the variety of features is so varied between them. android in particular has never seemed to have the “right” reader for me. recently i tried to love thunderbird on desktop, but i’m afraid liferea is a pretty clear winner in this regard.
my frustration with finding a decent rss reader is a major contributing factor in my quest to learn python.
I use FreshRSS on desktop (web client from my self-hosted instance), and Readrops on Android (synced to my FreshRSS). For Lemmy notifications specifically you’ll likely want a dedicated client that is noisy. I was using Brief for this task temporarily, with only one RSS feed loaded and having it set to delete all but the latest message.

thanks for the tip if i ever get a machine i can dedicate to hosting an rss reader i may do that.
