I still don't know how to use the Internet without Google Reader :/

This is as close to Google Reader as I've gotten with any of them.

https://www.inoreader.com

Inoreader is fantastic! Works great on the web or in an app.
The app is nowhere close in polish to the google reader app, but I make do :'(
Considering all the rest of the Reader clones that have popped up, I think this one comes as close to Google Reader as they get.
https://www.inoreader.com/ is a good replacement
newsblur is one of those open source yet hosted options that is a really good replacement
Feedly works fine
What about The Old Reader? https://theoldreader.com/ It's very similar to Google Reader, with the same UI.
Ouch, automatic locale detection, and badly in need of a (proper) translator (for at least Dutch). And no way to switch language that I can find (wouldn't be the first time that was translated with "").

I'm currently using https://blogtrottr.com to get e-mail updates for RSS/Atom feeds.

Huh ? You can change the language (I'm in France and I have my theoldreader in English). You just need to click on your login at the top right and go to "Settings" (probably Instellingen in Dutch).
I don't have an account there.

But I just figured out that using: https://theoldreader.com/?locale=en will also get me English text.

That enables me to properly evaluate it before signing up should I want to.
