When the kdepim apps (I used akregator and kmail... for a decade) jumped
the akonadi shark it was too bad. I'll leave it at that...

What I switched to for both email and feeds is the gtk-based claws-mail,
which is /perfect/ for my needs as an email client (resisting the urge to
stray into that discussion...), but in all honesty, its best feature as a
feed reader is that it's claws and thus already a familiar interface to
those using claws for mail (and/or perhaps news/nntp, for which I prefer
pan).
As a stand-alone feed reader, claws-mail works, but I'd not consider it
anything special. OTOH, if you're coming from akonadified akregator
perhaps "works and is stable, unlikely to be jumping any sharks any time
soon" is a primary draw, as it definitely was for me for mail and to a
somewhat lessor extent for feeds, in which case claws might be just the
ticket.
Claws has long been X-based but (like most modern gtk-based programs) now
works well in native wayland mode too and thus on kde/plasma-wayland (which
is where I use it). For that you'll need version 4.x -- I'm currently
running 4.1.1 (the latest, released October, 2022).
