Where does one store favorite links so I can handle them on phone and two separate machines?
On your ftp account, where else?

Linkding is great, and has some browser extensions to inject your favourites into relevant search pages on the likes of google, ddg, bing, etc, which was a nice idea I hadn't considered before
Re: All Pocket accounts will be converted to Firefox accounts
#74Seems like pocket is losing a lot of its value due to more sites not working with its article view. I've stopped using it because of that and also because it doesn't work well for pages that aren't articles and I didn't like having to maintain multiple bookmarking tools. That being said, if it was more integrated with Firefox and Firefox's bookmarking tools, that might make it compelling for me again, so maybe this i…
I hate the way pocket was just plonked in as a feature i never wanted along side a bunch of splash screens. Gits

Because it was just owned then, I disagree with further integration.
Pocket has been integrated into Mozilla for quite a while. Your efforts are either misplaced or extremely late.
Boy, the lack of self-awareness in this response is something.
Semi-annual PSA: Pocket was supposed to have been open sourced when Mozilla bought them out. Spoiler alert: it isn't. On the other hand, maybe we should give the parties involved the benefit of the doubt. These things take time, after all—the change in ownership was only announced in 2017.
(Perhaps the person you're responding to has a perspective on tardiness that has been influenced by Mozilla Corporation's relationship with the concept.)

On your personal homepage's bookmarks page.
What about bookmarks that I don’t necessarily want to be publicly known. Not even talking about anything potentially embarrassing. Things like where I bank or my doctor’s appointment booking page.

#77I have been iMessaging myself as my read it later methodology. It has worked quite very well for me.
I’ve done the same with Signal’s Note to Self.
Re: All Pocket accounts will be converted to Firefox accounts
#78Even though I have a firefox account, I'm glad I have moved off Pocket (to Readwise Reader). I don't want all my accounts joined. I don't want a threat model where being locked out of one service takes down everything, especially when that service has no support. This applies to gmail and Mozilla equally.
It will be $8 a month if you signup during the beta and pay yearly. Seems kinda steep if you're just using Pocket as a "read later" tool that scrapes the page.
Readwise is absolutely high end power user software, and not just a "read it later" service. If you need it's features, it's worth it. I really like all of my highlights syncing to my obsidian notes, the ability to use a single source for rss/epubs/webpages/pdf/etc and having an AI assistant to throw at tasks.

Presumably that's a small set of bookmarks which you could manage across devices.
Other options might be to have that personal homepage on a non-public machine (e.g., on your home or office LAN), behind a VPN, and/or password protected.
Another practice from days of yore was to export specific bookmarks and transfer those to other systems. This is indeed cumbersome with mobile browsers (I'm not sure these even offer bookmark import/export ... Looks as if that's synch-only for Firefox/Android, which is disappointing.
Re: All Pocket accounts will be converted to Firefox accounts
#80I have a script that runs in the background and exports my bookmarks, merges them with the existing file, then syncs that file over Syncthing.
I am not sharing my bookmarks with Mozilla, I am way too smart for that.
