Lots of websites (news, blogs, etc) have an “RSS” page which is automatically updated every time they make a new post. People have RSS apps, which scan all the RSS pages they’re subscribed to, and can quickly in one place see all the new posts they’re interested in.
Me personally, I have an RSS app that tells me anytime Winehq, This Week in KDE, and Frame.work make a new post
It’s maybe a bit of a niche use case, but I predominantly use RSS links in my torrent client. (uTorrent 2.2.1, specifically, but I’m sure other more modern ones support it as well.) It’s very useful if you want to say download all the new Linux isos that happen to share the name of a popular currently airing TV series, and contain s01 and 1080p in their name. You can just put the search terms in whatever site you get your Linux ISOs from, copy the link on the RSS button, and put it in your torrent client, and your ISOs just magically show up as they’re released.
I use Reeder on iOS and have for yonks. I was using it with Feed Wrangler (for synchronisation) until it folded and then I just imported my feeds into Reeder directly so it syncs across all of my devices.
The loss of Google Reader was a blow to RSS but it’s never gone away and a great way of getting your news and information.
(Disclaimer, I now run an RSS-to-Email service, but that is an effect of my liking the approach)
My preferred approach has been to subscribe using an RSS-to-Email service. I then filter the items into dedicated folders in my mailbox. For most of these folders I turn off notifications and turn on syncing so that whenever I have downtime I can browse through them.
I like it because I already have email set up on all of my devices an my email clients are nice and configurable. I also like that I can direct a few feeds towards my inbox for things that I want to act on quickly.

I’ve been curious about RSS. What app do you (or anyone) recommend?
Feeder it’s on f droid. Really simple and nice.
You can also use it as a YouTube aggregator and open all YouTube links in Newpipe for an anonymous private portable YouTube subscription feed.
Does it sync your subscriptions between two devices? (Tablet and phone.)

Inoreader on IOS. it’s fairly decent. Still but hurt about Google dropping reader.

Inoreader for a great cross device experience
Surprised this comment isn’t up a bit more. Had to scroll a bit to find a correct answer.
