Adding value (I hope) to that slrn/tin/rn suggestion, is that Android has
always been able to run any Linux distribution (including desktops).

If the OP does go for a nix-related newsreader on Android, all I ask is
that the OP let us know what works as we all keep tabs on this stuff but
not everyone can test every newsreader out there (as I had, long ago).
