Currently actually using Thunderbird for this, since I couldn't find standalone software that I actually liked (though RSS Guard felt close to what I was looking for https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard) and I wasn't looking for an online reader for this, nor did I want browser integration (too many separate browser installs across multiple computers).
Turns out that Thunderbird's built in functionality is pretty much sufficient and works nicely: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2022/05/thunderbird-rss-feeds-guide-favorite-content-to-the-inbox/ https://blog.thunderbird.net/2022/05/thunderbird-rss-feeds-g...
Essentially now I have a few folders next to my e-mail accounts and I can read them when I want, the usage mode being surprisingly similar to e-mails (e.g. ignoring an account or two until I feel like browsing them, vs the immediate notifications of instant messaging). Plus, the UI/UX is pretty much regular Thunderbird as well, so nothing new there - it's familiar and usable.
