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.
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
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.
@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.
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.
@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)
