Which RSS reader do you all use? RSS fell by the wayside for me after Google Reader was shutdown. I thought HN+Reddit+Twitter+Medium would replace it but I still find myself missing updates from several wonderful sites that don't update regularly.

Inoreader has plenty of advanced features. It's better than what Google Reader was like.
+1 to inoreader, I've been using it since the demise of Google Reader. Stable, full-featured, and great mobile apps.

I used to use Digg and switched over recently to Inoreader, way better in almost every way.

This looks great, thanks for the tip!
I like NewsBlur, has a good web client and a nice app for iOS (phone and pad).
Edit: maybe also for Android but I simply don't know.
It is, indeed, also on Android. I use it there constantly, works great. Back in the Google Reader demise days, I tried pretty much everything that was available, and NewsBlur was clearly the best. I've happily paid for it ever since. The founder and his staff are responsive to issues on Twitter, too.
As for what I read:
- Blogs category: 116 "blogs", which is to say irregularly (sometimes very rarely) updated feeds with longer-form content (includes some podcasts).
- Miscellaneous category:
- Charles Arthur's daily link list
- Daring Fireball
- LWN.net
- Marco Arment
- Matt Mullenweg
- Planet Gentoo
- Planet Mozilla
- The Codeless Code
- Trivium
- Comics - CommitStrip
- Dilbert
- Geek&Poke
- Not Invented Here
- Oglaf
- Power Nap
- Questionable Content
- Strong Female Protagonist
- wulffmorgenthaler
- xkcd
The full list, if you're interested, is here:https://dirkjan.ochtman.nl/files/NewsBlur-djc-2016-07-31.xml
I'm completely in love with Feedly. They also replicated Google Readers api, so you can use Feedly as your single-sign on, but use another RSS reader that understands the old Google Reader-api if you prefer to jugle RSS readers around a little.
I'm using Movim (p.s.: I'm the author - https://movim.eu/). I have a little daemon in Python that parses hundreds of RSS/Atom feeds and push them to public XMPP Pubsub nodes, https://github.com/edhelas/atomtopubsub.
After that I just use Movim to subscribe to them and I can enjoy real-time pushed news in a nice UI that is available on my phone, browser on in an app. And everyone can also subscribe and publish on new nodes. I really think that XMPP is a really nice protocol to do such things.

Feedly is OK
Digg Reader. It's simple but functional.

Thunderbird
Gwene's rss-to-nntp converter: gwene.org. Which has been down for the past couple of days, and I'm missing my fix!
newsbeuter.
theoldreader.com is what I use. Closest to Google Reader...
