How do you use RSS?

Question

I find Feedly and all those apps too bloated. Is there just a minimal plaintext site (in an HN style) where I can get links to my subscriptions in a list?

You may want to look at Miniflux[0] to see if that fits your needs. There's a paid hosting option, but it's also straightforward to deploy on a VPS or your localhost.
Alternatively, you could also look at having yet another app like Reeder[1] that syncs to Feedly, FreshRSS, Miniflux, etc. while helping to clean up the browsing and reading experience.

sfeed command line https://codemadness.org/sfeed-simple-feed-parser.html
it can output to gopher, twtxt, mbox and html. gemini export would be nice so I can do everything in gemini. you can't really get more minimal
I didn't know about twtxt, it's awesome.
