I still mourn the loss of Google Reader.
There are plenty of RSS reader apps, but there are very few with good cross-device sync - let alone self-hosted cross-device sync.

Been happy with Feedly for a long time across many devices.
Self-hosted is its own can of worms. Google Reader was not self-hosted either.
Self plug: I use matcha[0] which produces markdowns which with icloud (or any other file sync service) automatically sync cross devices.

I've been using one of the numerous "RSS to Email" programs for the past 20 years.
To me that's peak usability, I can use my mail workflow to have cross-device state, I can use my mail clients tagging and spam support to filter, and I have a reasonably good searching facility too.
Some sites only include "teasers" rather than full posts, but they're a minority.
I’ve setup a local RSSBridge instance and use its “CSS Selector Feed Expander” module to expand these feeds into full feeds.
They also have a public instance.

I don't think you could self-host Google Reader, so it sort of feels like these two sentences don't hang together.
It's more linked to there not being any / many high quality RSS reader applications, so the comment is talking about a feature, so it does make sense.
theoldreader was built to be as close as possible to Google Reader. And from an interface PoV it's really close. Problem is that without critical mass you can't do the social features.
Self-hosted FreshRSS + NetNewsWire, works like a charm.
I've been using Feedly ever since the death of Google Reader. If you ignore all the ai bullshit it's simple to use and I've had no issues with cross-device sync.
miniflux is pretty good. news.mystuff.net is pretty sweet.
