Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. This is very disappointing as I love the compatibility with my Kobo.

Pocket had a strange history for me. When it came out, I thought it was the best thing ever! But after some time I realised I actually don't use it. I just saved pages to bookmarks

I'm coming to the same conclusion. I have long migrated back to Instapaper (not related to Meta's Instagram of anyone doesn't know about it). And the only distinction saving to that vs bookmarks and raindrop, is that I save articles more often than not. And raindrop have a reader mode as well iirc.

And I don't really go back to read all the articles I saved in instapaper that frequently. Might as well just drop that too, and just use raindrop (or linkwarden when I get around to trying Linux and self hosting).

Not to mention there is a third thing called Collections on mobile. It's such a shitshow. Just make bookmarks better!!! Like, I am forced to peruse the fully expanded directory tree while saving and moving bookmarks on mobile? So hellish, I am dead, every time.

I should add that I use directories extensively... I just checked and I am at 22 full-screen-length scrolls from beginning to end - so, at least 250 folders. It doesn't help that indentation levels are barely hinted at
