Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. This is very disappointing as I love the compatibility with my Kobo.
And nothing of value was lost.
I actually quite enjoy the functionality, especially as I try to move away from centralised aggregation like Reddit.
I just don’t like the privacy and monetization tactics used by most of the solutions in this niche.
https://www.wallabag.it/ is a solid alternative
rss/atom feeds?
RSS is good for “I like this site, please show me new content when it releases”.
But Pocket was more like “I stumbled across this article on my phone, I want to read it later so I’ll save it and sync to other devices, I don’t necessarily care about this site”
They are removing fakespot as well, which was made to help users spot scams. THAT was valuable but nobody actually used it.
