Ask HN: How do I flag a(n) HN post for later reading without upvoting?

Reddit separates the act of voting from saving a submission. Is there a way to do that on HN?

Frequently, I want to flag a submission for later reading, but that doesn't necessarily mean I want to endorse it.

I could always add to my burgeoning browser bookmark pile, of course.

Thanks!

Instapaper and Pocket have 'read later' browser buttons. That keeps is somewhat separate from your bookmarks and still in sync across multiple browsers/devices.

Yes, it shows a "save to pocket" link, for instance.

I was hoping to keep the saved content within my HN account, but these options are great food for thought.

Thank you!
