Comme #Pocket est mort, je rappelle que #Wallabag existe et reste très simple/pratique pour sauvegarder des articles que vous avez lu en ligne (et qui sont importants pour vous). Ca se host, sinon c'est 11€/an, ce qui est franchement pas grand chose
And there it goes...
Was cleaning up the export I downloaded (it's now a BIG spreadsheet!) and checked back at #Pocket.
#Poof! It's gone.
Alt...
So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen... and more text in that vein, with an illustration of a laptop screen showing a view of Pocket's website that is but a memory.
Pocket no longer exists.
A big F you to Mozilla!
So it's been a bit...
The Pocket app on my Android tablet kept working for a while, by which I mean I could still read articles and even download ones that had not been saved to the device.
But it's getting wonky. I have the offline storage set to 200MB, but a few days ago it went up to 300MB and won't go down, even as I read/export/delete articles. It crashed yesterday and today.
Got my export(s) already.
So I think it's time to kill it. Uninstall. Get back 350MB.
[Waves bye-bye to #Pocket.]
Earlier today I also got my old #Instapaper app to recognize the password. (It worked on the laptop, why not the app? Oh, well, at last it does.)
That will eat up some of the storage I gained, but it *works*.
Give it a bit, make sure everything is going smoothly, then it will be time to delete the Mozilla/Firefox account I created solely to access Pocket. Probably a couple of weeks.
It just never ends...
A discovery since trying out (and liking) Wallabag and reviving my old Instapaper app (both on an Android tablet): Instapaper seems to use a lot more memory than Wallabag. Of course, I don't have an accurate count of how many articles are in each, but I've stuffed a lot into Wallabag in the short time I've been using it.

> wallabag: The Open-Source Powerhouse
> For those who like to have more control, or prefer open-source software, wallabag is a strong contender. It’s got a clean interface, tagging, and offline reading, just like you’d expect. It’s a great choice if privacy and control are big priorities for you.
@Sicoaxial @carloshr @itziarsantin En #LecturaSocial teníamos #Linkding, pero hemos añadido también una instancia de #Readeck, como alternativa a #Pocket y la gente está bastante contenta. Es parecido a #Wallabag

⚠️ Important PSA about #Pocket ‼️
If you used Pocket to save interesting articles you found online, you may be aware that #Mozilla decided to shut down the app and discontinue support.
I vaguely remembered that date was July and had a mini-heart attack when I saw it was actually July 8.
Good news though: if you, like me, have hundreds of articles saved to Pocket, you have until October 8 to request an export of your data (I just did): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket
Next up: moving to @wallabag 🤗
Oh ça y est ... RIP Pocket 👋 c'est fini. Sans toi, je n'en serais pas là aujourd'hui alors merci pour tout, vraiment.

After a week of trialing @wallabag, I decided to give it a proper go and purchased a one year subscription to the hosted version.
So far, I've been really satisfied and it's been a seamless switch in terms of workflow from Pocket to wallabag.

Incident on the wallabag.it service
Due to Pocket shutdown annoucement, a lot of new users are arriving on wallabag.it. They are importing thousand of articles. Two consequences:
- the import may take hours
- our web server may have some downtimes

Well done @benjaminoakes for this great tool!
So the Instapaper service is something I find useful, and so far it's free.
I'd *like* to pay something like $20 a year for it. That's kind of my "comfortable" price point for a service. But they are looking for $60.
I don't think this is a $60/year service. I'd be grumbly with $30 and OK with $20.
But if it's $60 or $0, I guess it's $0 for now.
I always found #Pocket kind of clunky, but I did find things I wanted to read in their daily emails. I used Firefox, and it was part of the ecosystem, so I was OK with that.
There seemed to be extra clicks involved with saving to Pocket. It wasn't as seamless as it needed to be.
Now with Instapaper, which I'd heard of but never used, I like the ease of using the browser extension and phone app to add links to my "feed" (or "paper," I guess).

For those who wallabag.it told you that your CSV was KO, it's fixed.

#Digg founder Kevin Rose offers to buy #Pocket from #Mozilla - https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/23/digg-founder-kevin-rose-offers-to-buy-pocket-from-mozilla/ well, better than letting it die...
Hace años empecé con pocket porque "venía" con firefox y descubrí que era un maldito timo porque terminabas por acumular miles (literalmente) de lecturas que no se reducían nunca y que te creaban ansiedad. Curioso que con los libros en papel eso no me pasa; será porque adornan mi vida, no sé.
En cualquiera de las dos herramientas (y supongo que no serán las únicas) el mayor problema que tenían era con las propias páginas web, una enorme parte de ellas diseñadas para NO compartir información y para NO leer con comodidad y mucho menos fuera de ellas, por lo que en ocasiones era imposible recoger el contenido y se limitaban a registrar la URL. URL que, por supuesto, desaparecía o se trasladaba o volvía a estar bajo un muro de pago que antes no o ... La internet moderna de los mercaderes: basura.
El caso es que cuando apareció wallabag -y teniendo dos servidores alquilados en la red- me pareció buena idea pasarme a él y alojarlo en ellos. Luego pensé que pedían muy poco y que estaría bien pagarles a ellos por una cuenta y así contribuir.
Lo usé durante un tiempo más, importando mi contenido de pocket, y alcancé inmediatamente el status anterior: montañas de páginas web superinteresantes pendientes de leer. Otro autoengaño.
Cuando descubrí que wallbag está diseñado para importar pero no para exportar me sentí ciertamente engañado y me dije que hasta ahí llegaba y que pasaba de ellos y me iba con pocket.
Eso fue el mes pasado.
Así que ahora no tengo claro qué hacer. Puedo usar la aplicación de marcadores de Nextcloud, que para eso tengo el montaje, o intentar encontrar algo nuevo que prometa guardar páginas y clasificarlas y organizarlas y ... termine empleando un LLM para darte la información.
Y yo muertito de angustia porque todo ese conocimiento vital para lo que fuese en ese momento mi vida no estará a mi alcance. 😞
Currently digesting over 200,000 articles.

What happens to the “pocket.co” links that #Pocket used when you shared from within it? They don’t work any more. 😱
My early #microblogging shares are a graveyard of “pocket.co”, “zite.to”, “j.mp” links. 😰
Bummed out about #Pocket being shut down, despite its recent enshittification — been using it since the #ReadItLater days 😰:
“Pocket Is Saying Goodbye – What You Need To Know”, Mozilla (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket).
Hearing about ArchiveBox and hosting it on my own server was one of the best things I discovered this year.
I now have my own internet archive :)
I imported all my data from #Pocket and will do the same with many articles saved in my browser's favourites lists.
ArchiveBox allows you to take snapshots of a web page and save them in PDF, text and many other formats.
And on my own server, enough with relying on others.

Pocket shuts down but open web remains

I'm a bit frustrated with the upcoming shutdown of Pocket. Putting aside the loss of this kind of service (it was my first read-it-later app back in 2012) and the decision of Mozilla Corporation, I remain frustrated because it comes at a moment where it's hard for me to find time to work on wallabag. But I will continue doing my best :)
I appreciate that people are looking for different solutions to replace Pocket, something I will miss using. I have a few thoughts, but keen to hear from others.
I have a conversation open at https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/replacing-pocket-learn-share-explore-the-open-web/143470 - would be great to hear what positive ideas people have and solutions they have found.
Hello everyone!
We are so happy to welcome you here.
For your information, we are working on the CSV import from #Pocket. We will release a new version in coming days 🚀
About the hosted version on wallabag.it, I hope it will be available today or tomorrow 🔥
You can join us on matrix to discuss with us and other wallabag users: https://matrix.to/#/#wallabag:matrix.org
Have a nice day!
Dear @mozilla ,
I get that you need to FOCUS, but I'm personally bummed you are killing off #Pocket, as it's a service I use pretty much ** every single day! ** 😞 (I don't care about Fakespot )
But please... literally *** NO ONE *** is asking for more "AI-powered features":
------
This shift allows us to shape the next era of the internet – with tools like vertical tabs, smart search and more AI-powered features on the way.
------
Please just STOP the AI nonsense!
Si tenemos el mejor admin técnico del mundo se dice y punto. No hace ni un rato que he comentado con @elmau la posibilidad de tener un Readeck en #LecturaSocial como alternativa a #Pocket y dicho y hecho.
Ya lo tenemos:
https://readeck.lectura.social/
Si alguien de la comunidad quiere hacer de conejillo de indias, que me diga, y así me sirve a mí para ver cómo se configura esto :)
Mandadme email indicándome el correo con el que os apuntasteis a Ko-fi y os abro la cuenta.
Camaradas, cierra #pocket y para mí es un desastre bastante gordo. ¿Alguna alternativa? ¿libre y gnu? ¿que permita importar lo almacenado en pocket?
If you’re looking for a Pocket replacement, the good news is that there are tons of open source options available - if you’re willing to self host. And if you’re going that route, why not try a federated bookmarking platform? I know of two.
Might be a little biased as I’ve contributed once or twice, but Postmarks works great. Yes, it was built with Glitch in mind but I run it as a Docker container myself.
El #Obsidian Web Clipper me parece un complemento cojonudo. Muy buena alternativa para los que se quedan huérfanos de #Pocket
https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/web-clipper-obsidian/
Je vais devoir faire un billet de blog qui explique que ouais, #wallabag c'est pas aussi joli (c'est relatif je sais, mais c'est pas totalement faux quand même) que #pocket, mais tu peux contribuer / on n'a pas levé des millions d'euros et notre modèle économique n'est pas de réussir à en vivre et à embaucher des dizaines de personnes. Donc on fait comme on peut, depuis plus de 12 ans et ça fonctionne plutôt pas mal comme ça.
Non estou en situación de ofrecer de xeito público un servizo como #Pocket pero que saibades que tanto #wallabag como #readeck (coas súas diferenzas) son servizos moi acaídos e que funcionan moi ben, con ferramentas para importar os datos que teñas actualmente en pocket.
Levo anos usando wallabag no meu servidor, e desde hai uns meses readeck. Teñen tanto Complementos para o navegador como Aplicacións para dispositivos móbiles.
Mozilla is shutting down read-it-later app #Pocket - https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/22/mozilla-is-shutting-down-read-it-later-app-pocket/ #mozilla utterly useless these days, ruining or shutting down its offerings...
Aquí os dejo el link a la web de #Linkding, por si tenéis curiosidad. Si lo queréis probar ahí mismo se ofrece una demo:
Atención usuarios de #Pocket: #Mozilla va a cerrar Pocket, y dejará de funcionar el 8 de julio. Sus datos se podrán exportar hasta el 8 de octubre.
Dos alternativas #opensource y fuera de EEUU: Wallabag, gratis si se hace selfhosting, si no, 11 euros/año.
Raindrop.io - gratis, tiene cuenta pro, en la mayoría de casos no hace falta.
Las dos tienen apps, extensiones y permiten importar datos de Pocket.
Hay bastantes más, me haré un hilo de alternativas si quereis.
https://www.theverge.com/news/672924/mozilla-pocket-fakespot-shutting-down
Recordatorio de que, entre otros servicios, en #LecturaSocial ofrecemos un #Linkding, que quizás sea una alternativa a #Pocket
Linking es un gestor de marcadores minimalista, que a mí me gusta mucho (lo uso todo los días) porque yo era muy de Delicious en su día y esto es muy parecido.
Yo no lo uso, pero por lo visto cierra #Pocket el 8 de julio.

He usado varias aplicaciones estilo Read It Later, desde Wallabag a Pocket y siempre me han agobiado y he terminado dejando de usarlas.
Veo que esto le ha pasado a más gente, aquí un post sobre el tema.
La moraleja sería que tenemos que ver la aplicación como un rio, no como un cubo. ¿Pero es esto suficiente? Lo intentaré y a ver que resultado me da.
