Problem: I scroll on lemmy, I talk to friends, I see some interesting page, project, funny meme or something else. (when I was on reddit i pressed SAVE, when I was on Instagram I pressed PIN (or something) and now I’m stuck with (uncategorised) information all over the place.

My current idea is: push everything to Telegram group where my bot listens, take the URL, maybe even extract some data and save it somewhere. 90% of my input will be over the phone but here and there also PC.

Any suggestions for self-hosted service to dump data in our (even better) to even skip whole bot part altogether?

UPDATE: Maybe I was a bit unclear. I want to “save” URLs and also somehow tag/categorize them. So I think plain bookmarks won’t cut it, also flow is important (on mobile), switching copy/paste is to much hassle.

I use Joplin Firefox extension. One click and i can save page as a text/HTML/image/link into my Joplin notebook. You can sync with your own server, with NextCloud, with Joplin paid cloud and with something else. Great FOSS app.

Not selfhosted but I think Pocket also falls into that category of service.

You want a “read it later” service, like Omnivore or Wallabag.

What is your workflow if you find something on mobile and you want to save it to omnivore?

@mwalker789 Are you looking to create a “to read later” list, or to save the content to disk? Pinning and saving is like the former but your ideas about a telegram bot suggest the latter.

If it is more on the archiving side, here is a short list to get you started https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Web-Archiving-Community

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
