boo! without the tags, the links will be mostly useless for me. Every now and then I thought aboyt switching to some self-hosted solution. Should've done it sooner... and I will never trust Mozilla with any service again.

anyone have any good suggestions for a self-hosted option?

I don't understand the Linkding recommendations.

AFAICT Linkding is a bookmarking app, much like Pinboard, not a read-later app like Pocket.

I totally understand you and it seems that a lot of users like myself were using pocket as way to sync bookmarks across devices as well.

Also, linkding offers a way to read it later by using the singlefilextension https://linkding.link/archiving/

Linkding is basically a reading list with some extra features like downloading an arching copy , notes, and tags.

I think of Wallabag and Readeck as readers since they render the page in “app” , keep track of your reading progress, and in some cases let you highlight text
