I use Tasks.org synced with Nextcloud, and it's pretty good.

I use it with my CalDav server Fadicale, which id more lightweight than nextcloud. Works reaĺy weĺ too.
I use Nextcloud for other stuff too. I'm syncing with Nextcloud because I already had it 🙂
You probably mean Radicale. Baikal is an option too.
I use todo.txt format todo lists.
On desktop, I use sleek, which is FOSS.
On mobile, there are a couple FOSS options, but they all kinda suck, so I use obsidian with a todo.txt plugin that works pretty well for viewing and checking off items.
Just looked at Sleek (which I hadn’t heard of before) and looks pretty good. Thanks. I’ve been using the Obsidian plugin which has been fine up until now.
I'm using Notally on Android
I've been using Joplin for awhile and am very happy with it. Sync via Dropbox, with tags to use it for GTD (getting things done) works like a charm!
Kinda clunky for my taste personally
Same here but I sync via my home server and syncthing to 4 devices.
I've recently started using also as a wiki. As I found I'd save a bookmark in Firefox, go to view it down the track, and the site is gone.
So it's now also my recipe book. My python / django / flask etc knowledge base.
My to do list.
Etc etc. Really have gone all in, and loving joplin
For saving things like we pages, take a look at ArchiveBox.
It saves to your own server, and you can either link to it or copy the page to Joplin.
I'm currently using it to save pages from browsing on Android, using a Macrodroid macro to send the link to a text file that's synced to my ArchiveBix, which reads the file once an hour and archives the links in there.
I used to save everything to OneNote (I'm currently testing Joplin), and it got to be cumbersome on the phone, and have had OneNote disconnect from my Onedrive, meaning stuff stops syncing.
Logseq. Linear To-Do-lists aren't for me, and in Logseq, I can do it organically
I need to make it a priority to give logseq a try. I moved from Joplin to obsidian.md a couple years ago, because i realized an open data format (plaintext markdown files) was more important to me than an open source app (because I can still easily query and manipulate my data with open source CLI tools). I think at this point if I can replicate about 75% of my obsidian workflow in logseq, I'll make the jump and adapt my workflows to logseq's strengths and capabiities.
I think both are equally great and it's more about taste.
Logseq is an outliner, so basically everything is written in bullet points. For my type of thinking, that's great. Obsidian is more about longer notes.
You can archive both with extensions, so it's about you what you prefer.
I really liked the simplicity of GNOME To Do when it was around. The successor seems to be GNOME Endeavor, which I haven't tried extensively.
Tasks.org for all the important things that I need synced proper. Logseq for work and personal stuff, where i put all my ideas and info i've learned. Nextcloud notes for my digital post-it notes, like shopping lists. :)
I use Vikunja, which is a self-hosted web app that can be run as a PWA.
I use tuxsudo's instance, but I believe Project Segfault also hosts it if you can't/don't want to host it yourself.
Joplin, can even be easily self hosted for synching/sharing.
I use Emacs+org-mode on pc and orgzly on mobile. Syncthing to sync them.
