I am currently using Newsblur and I like well enough but it is breaking on this site and it’s been a few years since I looked at options. Desktop (for Linux) or web based is fine. Main requirements are just being pleasant to use, allowing a lot of feeds and the ability to navigate with keyboard controls.

when google reader went down someone made a clone called the old reader which is basically fine. if you need any specific features vs just a chronological list of posts its probably not quite right but for my needs its pretty much fine. the free version supports 100 subscriptions max so it might not suit you

I actually used to use it. I moved to Newsblur because they had a working app on F-Droid when The Old Reader didn’t. I care a bit less about having a mobile RSS feed now, though.

I've used Feedbin since before google reader shut down, which is a great service but requires a subscription. Very nice web app, super reliable, consistently gets new useful features. It handles email newsletters too, and stuff like YouTube and podcasts is handled well. For feeds that don't have full text it can go in and grab a reader view of the site, which rules. You can set up push notifications if you really need to.

$50/year is kinda high? But I use it every day and straight up never had any issues so I'll definitely stick with it.
