Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I have no idea what pocket is. I assume some feature of ff I don't have any need for.

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's for saving articles. Plenty of people use it, myself included. Very handy.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't that what bookmarks are for?

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I find it much easier than managing an unwieldy number of bookmarks and the tagging & list functionality allow you to group things in more than one way. Both the web interface and the app strip all the unnecessary clutter out of articles (making them easier to read), plus the app gives you offline reading.

Wait you don't use folders and groupings for your bookmarks?

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

I do use folders for my bookmarks, but I prefer my bookmarks to be for pages that I regularly use or are important for me to find quickly using the address bar. Articles that I want to read or have read and want to keep for future reference I much prefer in a platform like Pocket. With Pocket's demise I will be looking at Wallabag and Readeck.

Indeed. And then I can read it on my e reader.

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 1 month ago

Yet another "bookmarks, but with a different UX" feature like half of the stuff that browsers have these days.

(I may sound like I'm mocking it, but I appreciate that we're not stuck manually saving bookmarks for everything and get to choose how we want things to be saved)

[–] cdf12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You know how it seems like everything has a share button now ? Imagine an app that aggregates everything you want to save from all different places so you can go back to it later. That’s pocket.

[–] markstos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sounds like a bookmarking service.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that a AI generated pfp? I don't know how well this will go...

Looks to be, he is also a notorious crypto bro and is trying to restart digg as an alternative to reddit.

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

And access is/was gated behind a paywall that comes with like mod powers or some nonsense.

[–] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

That would be like the Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme.
