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.

Karakeep seems more active than any of these, with a larger feature set potentially: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep
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?
I always forget the Kindle has a basic web browser. In lieu of a sync service/native apps, I wonder if any of these alternatives would work decently enough in the Kindle web browser with Article Mode.
And for what it’s worth, I use this Firefox extension to send articles directly to my Kindle without Pocket/any service in the middle.
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.
Readeck also has a KOReader integration via OPDS catalogue
Which one works best to get around the cookie popups? This was always a problem before where all you would get is the popup.
I’m really enjoying Karakeep, but I never used Pocket so I don’t know how they compare.
Is it good for read-it-later functionality, for example to read from a phone without online connectivity?
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?
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
