Thanks for the input.  I’m looking at my options.  I am trying to avoid public 
clouds wherever possible, but it looks like I’ll end up using one of these.

And, yes, Safari Shared Links do indeed sync (if you happen to use iCloud for 
syncing Safari, which I do).  That’s something.  And you can use News as an RSS 
reader, albeit one that sucks pretty hard (and doesn’t use the same Safari 
subscriptions).

RSS has come pretty far since I last looked.  Sadly, the trend has been towards 
centralisation of the worst kind—an ironic fate, really, for a technology 
intended precisely to avoid centralised information platforms.  Now we have all 
these syncing platforms with incompatible APIs that your client has to work 
with, with clients connecting to the centralised hubs, and the hubs receiving 
the real-time updates from the publishers.  And of course there’s an open RSS 
sync protocol, but almost nobody is implementing it.  Hmm.
