I use 'u' (gnus-summary-tick-article-forward) to mark articles, i.e
there is only one type of flag.

I assume the rss backend will also eventually expire articles, so you
may also want to copy them into the cache (bound to '*' key --
gnus-cache-enter-article).


However from your question ("Can I ...?" instead of "How can I ...?")
I deduce that you are not aware that Gnus is part of Emacs.  You may
want to consider whether learning Emacs and Gnus is worth your effort
just to read RSS feeds.  (Not that I would want to discourage anybody
from finding the way to enlightenment.)
