Just learned that POCKET will shut down in July 2025. It is a great service to collect articles on various devices and read later on a tablet & offline.
Which alternatives are out there?
Alternatives to MZLA Pocket?

Here is a list

Karakeep (formerly Hoarder) is another popular one, although I haven't tried it yet

I went with Readeck a few months ago. It's a nice solution between the barebones ones and those that have all the features.

I ended up on Readeck as well, very sleek interface, perfect for sharing articles via public links, self-hosting it was very easy to set up.

I use Readeck as well. My only complaint about Readeck is there really is no 'one click, backup/export' option. You can, however, download all the zip files it makes along with the db, and transfer it to another server. I know you can import bookmarks from Firefox, and you can export the epub, but you can't export all of your saves. At least I've never found a way beyond just downloading the full db and zips.

I just set up Readeck today. I've never used pocket or anything of the sort but it's already proving pretty useful. I tend to do a lot of 100%/platinum runs of various games and I've been tossing guide bookmarks in a folder for ages, this is a great way to sort those out

I'll throw another recommendation behind Karakeep. The fact I can share a page fromy mobile browser or use a browser extension on a laptop/desktop is excellent.
Another great thing for me is the oidc support so I can log in without passwords and rely on my Pocket ID instance and log in using a passkey. (Authelia, Authentic, Keycloak and similar identity providers would work too)

I have no idea why the fucking docker instance refuses to work. I've tried so many times...
Biscuit@ani.social · 2 pts · 1y
Post it! Let's see what's up.
I've been using the docker for ages but there was a SQL update command I had to do at one point (I didn't RTFM) but other than that, smooth sailing.
Even has a Koreader plugin.

For bookmarking: https://raindrop.io/
But it’s not self-hosted and I’m not sure it supports offline reading.
irmadlad@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
It's a downright dirty shame no devs have taken on Raindrop. It's a slick little app.
Xanza@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
That sucks, I immediately wanted it. :(

It’s still worth using, IMO. They present themselves as very privacy respecting and technologically savvy. I can say after years of using it, it feels that way. They never get in my way and consistently release quality, stable updates.

I've just started using linkwarden and love it as well. I chose it over Karakeep because it archives a copy of the page so it's still accessible if the original page is modified or becomes inaccessible in the future.
jacksquat@what.forfi.win · 1 pts · 1y
I've mostly loved it too but I'd really like to have something that had lower RAM usage. I only have a few hundred entries and right now my container stack is using ~620Mb. Just seems rather high for what it's doing/does. Are you finding the same kind of usage?

That makes more sense with that many links. Thanks for the response.
sean_lemmy@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 1y
Currently trying Readeck.
Karakeep is also popular, but doesn't default to an article view which I prefer.
Wallabag looks good, but I had difficulty getting its docker setup
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y
Are you me
JustJack23@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 1y
I use my note taking app with a specific tag for "read later"
benzoid@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
I use and self-host linkding
Saltarello@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
I tried Hoarder (KaraKeep) & Linkwarden. Both excellent but I preferred the UI for Linkwarden, particularly on mobile, so I stuck with that - i found Hoarder awkward to edit thumbnails for example though things may have changed in KaraKeep. From Android perspective both have apps but I prefer to use browser plugin. With Linkwarden there's some hoops to jump through on Android Firefox but it works perfectly once set up. Both excellent choices.

it's not perfect, but i've just been gathering interesting links into my org roam notebook

Thank you for the nice summary!
bladewdr@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 1y
I really like https://karakeep.app/.
I have it plugged into a local Ollama instance for automatic tagging of articles.
ratzki@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 1y
Thanks everyone for your many replies! Week start out with wallabag and see where it will lead me.

Kind of a piggyback on this -- is there a favoured "search my saved links from karakeep/linkwarden/hamster.io and show them first before feeding the search terms to google/bing/whatever" extension for your browser?
