I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com
-
I'm really enjoying Karakeep, but I never used Pocket so I don't know how they compare.
I was going to say that I use Hoarder and like it, but it looks like it's been renamed to Karakeep. I like the AI-powered tagging functionality.

Still a work in progress, but even at this stage, I hope it can help you and anyone you know who has been affected by the Pocket shutdown.

Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.
If you're already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you're not bookmarking constantly.
If you're doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).
I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced

I could be missing something but I never see Karakeep when the pocket shutdown is being mentioned. I’m curious ppl don’t know or don’t like karakeep?

Is it good for read-it-later functionality, for example to read from a phone without online connectivity?

Your entry for Omnivore says the link to the hosted version is broken. That's because it shut down at the end of last year.
It was a good option for read-it-later, whereas most of the of the bookmarking self-hosted apps seems more focused on saving and sorting links.

Good question! I know Wallabag has some eReader integrations through KOReader. People on Kobo devices seem to like it especially. There may be other options too. I'll look at this some more! I'd appreciate anyone sharing details that they know too.
I set up Wallabag on my Kobo last week and really don't like it when compared with the default Pocket implementation. Having to mess about getting it set up, and having to install KOReader just to replicate a function I already had and used extensively is irritating as hell. And it's not as good either.
Fuck Mozilla. They didn't have to buy Pocket, and they didn't have to shut it down. The pricks.

Do you know if there is any interest in resurrecting it?

Was wondering why this was posted on technology, but it turns out it is not selling what I'd expect with that website name.

If you just want to keep track of your bookmarks using git, floccus can do that.
Thanks. Def checking this out.

Readeck also has a KOReader integration via OPDS catalogue

I think it still exists like you can self host it. But the hosting shut down.

Offline support is planned but not supported yet according to the website.

The author had problems with a copyright claim with the name Hoarder unfortunately.

Which one works best to get around the cookie popups? This was always a problem before where all you would get is the popup.
-
The only reason I used Pocket was to save longer articles, ebooks, journals, etc with one click so they would sync with the free p2k (Pocket2Kindle) service and automatically end up on my Kindle. Is there anything similar?

Karakeep seems more active than any of these, with a larger feature set potentially: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep
