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/
Thanks !
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.

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)
Well, Thunderbird doesn’t, so I couldn’t tell if all others were the same, :(
Thanks !
You’re welcome!
Had no idea that thunderbird didn’t do it, sounds like a pretty basic feature to me.

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

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.
I second Fluent Reader. I even did a video about it as I was pretty impressed with it for its full text retrieval. It has an articles view, as well as lots of good display options.
Thanks, I’ll keep it as a 2nd option, since it’s Electron based.
RssGuard
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.
For android: Feeder is just great For linux desktop: Newsboat
True. Feeder is a great app. Every morning, I wake up and have my coffee while reading my news feed via Feeder.

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

The same goes for akregator unfortunately…
That’s unfortunate. I can’t think of a Gnu/Linux reader with as much functionality. Maybe you could try using self-hosted online readers like tiny rss
