If it's all URLs, you can look here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#bookmarks-and-link-sharing. I use linkding myself and save everything I want to look at later, avoiding the need to "save" or "pin" posts. Other solutions can also offer offline caching locally too.

can you quickly explain wait is your workflow if you find sth using mobile phone? do you copy URL, switch to service and paste it there?
For phone usage, I use this guide (Android): https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/blob/master/docs/how-to.md#using-http-shortcuts-app-on-android. So I never have to really copy any URL as long as there is a share button somewhere.
The browser extension also works like a charm.
nice
use… bookmarks? And if it's a concern that the pages you want to bookmark might disappear, you can use something like wallabag: https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag
Wallabag is nice, you share a link and it archives it's content like in reader view.
You can also add tags that are searchable
Yes Wallabag is awesome. I use a selfhosted instance and share articles from my phone vor my desktop computer via extension. On my work Computer i just copy the URL and add it to wallabag because i don't want to install the browser extension on my work computer.
I'Ve installed it on my VPS (with Docker) some days ago and I'm loving it! It can save the content of the page, you can add tags, it has Firefox extension (maybe Chrome too, but please, please, please don't use Chrome!) and an Android app too!!!
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.
I have yet to find a way to do this on my phone, but on my pc I use the Joplin note taking app with the web clipper extension. Joplin is also available for smartphones, but I don't think the webclipper is.
You can select part of a webpage, or even the whole page, and have it saved into Joplin. You can create notebooks for certain categories or add tags to make searching stuff more easy.
I sync it using nextcloud, but that's a bit more work to set up.
You want a "read it later" service, like Omnivore or Wallabag.
Another vote for Omnivore. It syncs great into Obsidian also.
What is your workflow if you find something on mobile and you want to save it to omnivore?
You share it to the Omnivore app. Couldn't be easier.
It does neat things like unfolds Twitter threads also.
nice, i’ll check it out
Not selfhosted but I think Pocket also falls into that category of service.
@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
CTRL + D
There's a Firefox extension called SingleFile that's great for saving/archiving entire web pages.
@mwalker789 I used ArchiveBox for a while and I really liked it. --> https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
Reminds me of the days of Stumbleupon when you could save webpages. Isn't what you're talking about just bookmarks? You would need a URL so it'd have to be in a browser anyway.
@mwalker789 @selfhosted Solution?: Use Yuito + a mastodon account to browse around.
I have a bookmark button below your post as I type this.
Not sure though if mastodon's favourites translate to lemmy's likes though, you also lose the "best of day/week/month" UI. So it depends on your use case.
I hope this helps!
doesn't this just cover mastodon? what about everything else?
@mwalker789 Not sure what you mean by everything else. You can see, follow, post, comment, favourite and bookmark any ActivityPub-compatible posts (that includes lemmy, for which I don't have an account, yet here I am talking with you)
Right - maybe I wasn't clear enough - I'm looking for something where I can dump any URL which I find any where - aka.: just scrolling the web (not just lemmy/mastodon/fediverse)
