what do you use for archiving / viewing, reading later? (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking into archiving websites/bookmarks.

There are the obvious ones listed on https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted . I'm going through all of them.

Any advice for a beginner in this topic? I already bookmarked every useful website I visited in the past year. This has also given me my personal search engine. Only open tabs and bookmarks are shown as a search recommendation in my browser.

Im going to start using Omnivore since it prevents deadlinks, is open source, and can be self hosted https://omnivore.app/

Super lazy here, I just email it to myself and look at it when I get to a place where I can read it.

what if it's a dead link by then?

It won't save the entire webpage but you can use Wayback Machine from archive.org if you mainly care about the text.

Nothing. I never bookmark or save anything other than research in which case I take notes with urls.

I just search for what I want to read.

I don't ever recall trying to find something that had disappeared. If that happened it would be a small price to pay for not having to archive the entire web.
