Floccus Android app + desktop Firefox Addon

I always wondered why do people use Pocket. I just use bookmarks - for example: on the bookmarks toolbar in my browser, I have a folder named "movies to watch". I just drag the tabs into that folder. Isn't that similar to Pocket?

My brain being fried from the brainrot and not being able to comprehend "save to read later" probably also plays a part.

There is a software called Readeck

You can start to self-host it by refering to this page, or you can wait for their flagship managed hosting service for Readeck as stated in the page to.

So far, my Readeck usage experience is awesome, the content of 1 article I saved and read using Readeck was full and no ads and not messy and I could read the article without disruption.

Readeck is also available to self-host using YunoHost

Pay the Wallabag man some money to host it for you. It's like $15 per year or something?

Are you looking for a 1:1 alternative to pocket ?

I've heard good things about Readeck.

Linkace is similar but you'll have to wait a bit for their official instance

I found this while browsing after Pocket announced shutdown, but haven't used it. It's pitched as a Pocket alternative, has support for Pocket import and similar features, but I don't think there's a dedicated Linux app.

I personally use Linkora but it is a bookmark manager, doesn't have an in built reader. It has both appimage and deb packages and is available on other platforms as well.

Shiori is a Pocket clone but I haven't used it

Almost all Pocket alternatives need self hosting. I was using Joplin web clipper and now I just use Linkora.

There's also Linkwarden.

Chaski is mostly an RSS reader but it can find feeds for websites as said on it's page and dowload articles.

TLDR - If you just want to save/bookmark articles, give Linkora a try. Or you could use the web clipper of Joplin.
