Thank you for this post. I was debating about moving from Feedly and this just saved me a lot of headaches.

At this point the main reason I stay on Feedly is their ability to handle fake email subscriptions into their RSS format. So many blogs and other places don't provide RSS anymore :(

I'd still give it a try if you have the time. You can easily run some of the alternatives with docker containers and from there you just need to import your OPML from Feedly. You don't have to switch, but it may work better for you than it did for me (it clearly works well enough for some) and you'd have an idea of the different UIs and approaches.

I only use real RSS feeds, so I'm not sure if there's an open source alternative that can replace Feedly for sites that don't have a feed.

For small blogs, especially those I sometimes find here on HN, usually they'll add a feed if you ask them. Sometimes it's just something they forgot to enable in their site generator or maybe they already have a feed, but it's a weird URL and it's not declared in the HTML. In my case it helps that the small blogs I follow are often from people that avoid social media, like to host their stuff, etc, and see the benefits of following sites via feeds.
