I sometimes use reeder but its UI isn’t quite right for me. But there’a a fair amount of options out there.
I've tried a few solutions and have landed on just storing them in an unordered list in a markdown file
Instapaper and Feedly work for me. Instapaper is the main thing and Feedly a thing I check occasionally for the blogs I love.
i’ve tried a paid Instapaper plan a few times but always end up leaving because their reader view very regularly misses entire sections of articles

Why? All the old articles are there as well.

I have the same issue, the chronological nature of feeds kind of breaks this flow. It feels like there’s a missing piece, like a standard to browse older content from a blog. I Wrote a bit about this here: https://olano.dev/blog/web-anthologists/

Why not just bookmark it in your web browser? Or create a Tumblr blog and make a new post for every cool article you find. You can set and edit the tags later if you want for searchability.
I am using a self-hosted instance of https://linkding.link/ which works great for hoarding a bunch of links. I am using multiple machines and different browsers and keeping bookmarks on the cloud is just not my thing.
Feeds are a tangent solution because they give you only the new stuff. Feeds transform blogs into social media platforms where what matter is the new fresh content, ready to "feed" the algorithm. But blogs and personal sites are different. High quality content is usually written in a single article, maybe in the past, and it will not be shown on your feed.
Actually I judge a blog on what's already written in there, so I want to read more articles but maybe just not right now. If I add the blog to my RSS reader I would only read future content.
Another patch to this problem is Instapaper. I can save there the most interesting articles and read them later, but the entire-blog view is missing.
I would like to have a way (platform) where I can save a blog and read all/some articles, with a standard formatting (custom blogs are nice but not always comfortable to read) and not having a default sorting for recent articles.
