I ended up using Readkit; started with Reeder, moved to Feedly and then Readkit. I cannot remember the cost but it was a one-off at the time I joined the service. I found it to work well for me.
I have been home with my poorly infant. Family and team at work have all been amazing. Child is getting better too.
I think much of Geocities remained accessible until 2013/2014 before going completely (apart from Japan 2019 or so).
