IWTL how to replace reddit on my phone with different apps to keep up with the news and get inspiration for hobbies without the draining social media aspect of reddit/Twitter/facebook/etc.

Hijacking top comment. It sounds like OP wants the same thing I’m looking for! Years ago RSS feeds and aggregators were the best way to gather and read news online. While I still use NetNewsReader, fewer sites support the protocol. Sadly RSS for news and newsreaders seems to have fallen away and it not supported on as many sites as before. Flipboard does a semi decent job of aggregating news and particular interests. (Kind of like StumbleUpon for interests from years ago) Apple News is okay but incredibly restrictive and doesn’t work in all countries. Sadly the “market” leaned toward social media sites for news (which has proven to be nutty and counterproductive.) but if OP wants different apps, maybe try the standalone news apps from your trusted sources to avoid the draining aspect.
