Freshrss has a self-hosted option or you can sign up to a community driven server.

I'm also curious. What Readers are people using these days? Preferably on android?

I use Feeder, and most sites I'm interested in have RSS feeds discovered if I plug in just the URL of their front page. Other sites can be a bit more of a pain, bit you can often just add /RSS or /feeds to the URL and the readers will work it out.
