Just text and maybe a few images. I suppose it is possible to subscribe to apps that aggregate several sources in a practical manner, but then you'll be restricted to their selection. permalink fedilink source parent [–] monkeyflower@infosec.exchange 1 point 2 years ago @CanadaPlus @SpectralPineapple Ive been using Plenary on Android which does a pretty good job of pulling full articles when available. Don't think its FOSS but its seems to be focused on privacy to a certain extent. I love that it can create a custom widget that can replace the google surveillance oriented click bait feed. I've been experimenting with a few different options on desktop. @thunderbird has been the go to for me for a long time.
