On Thunderbird for example, there's no way to aggregate feeds from different places, into just one common view. I'm looking for aggregating all feeds from different places into a common view, where I can globally just keep what I want to read from everywhere and remove what I'm not interested on.

Notice just the view needs to be joint, and one can remove stuff from the joint view, but in reality one would be removing stuff from each feeds provider.

Not sure if such client is available for gnu+linux, and hopefully a GTK one.

Edit: Trying newsflash. At the beginning I didn't want to try webkitgtk based packages, since it was supposed to be insecure, however stock packages are depending on it, so I guess there's no much trouble now a days. webkit2gtk was the safe bet that I remember. So considering this query as solved for now, :) Many thanks to all.

Edit 2: On TB I can remove feeds I don't want to keep, which rss readers can do that? On newsflash at least I don't see a way to remove stuff. So for sure that'll consume a lot of space depending on the amount of articles. Or am I missing something?

    It does have a "All articles" view, :) I'll go for it. On Arch it depends on webkitgtk, which some time back was considered insecure, and webkit2gtk was supposed to be the only one to use. Perhaps that changed...

    Thanks !

    It depends on webkitgtk-6.0 which seems to be the latest version. Their versioning scheme is very confusing.

    Edit: I get it now. The API version of WebKitGTK (6.0) is different from the project version of WebKit/WebKitGTK (2.41.*). This blog post was quite helpful: https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2023/03/21/webkitgtk-api-for-gtk-4-is-now-stable/

    I t doesn't seem I can remove stuff from newsflash, only mark stuff as read. This might be problematic long term, when using local RSS.

    What do you mean by "removing stuff"? Removing feed can be done by right-clicking on feed name. Removing/hiding article doesn't seem avalaible as option, but you can just use "unread" view and mark item as read to hide it. If you are concerned of storage, there is option to limit how article to be stored. In Preferences on "app" tab, "data" section, you can click on user data and cache to do that. Cheers!

    Feedbro installed as Firefox/Chrome plugin is a great app as cross patform RSS reader.

    I'm not sure I understand... I thought all readers did this.

    Doesn't liferea do it? (It's also gtk iirc)

    Liferea has "search folders" that let you define conditions for which stories/feeds show up in them.

    As usual, I'll swing by to say Newsboat even though it is not really a GUI or GTK.

    I aggregate all my YouTube subs into a single entry, for example. Very useful.

    Check out Fluent Reader, it's the best looking and the most featureful RSS reader I know of on Linux. Does have a common view as well.

    What about Raven Reader? It's Electron, yet it didn't feel like an Electron app. I used it before switching to Newsflash. My only reason for switching was that Raven didn't work well with FreshRSS.

    Akgregator works as described

    akregator is unfortunately part of the kde-pim, requiring akonadi, and a bunch of kde deps, see for example:

    % pacman -S akregator

    I was hoping there's something which way less dependencies, hopefully GTK rather than Qt... At some point I wanted to use kmail and korganizer, also part of kde-pim, but besides korganizer never fixing a pretty old bug, the amount of deps I needed, plus the akonadi DB, made go back on that attempt. The same goes for akregator unfortunately...

    I am new to Linux and the concept of "rss",I have use fluent reader on Linux and feeder for Android to read news which support rss service.However,I still don't understand what is aggregator and why do I need it? The only thing I have done so far is copy the rss link and paste to my rss reader. Could anyone eli5 to me?
