If anyone is interested into self-hosting their bookmarks service so that they don't suffer this again. Here is a list of interesting open source projects that provides that - Linkding https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding - Linkwarden https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden - Servas https://github.com/beromir/Servas - Grimoire https://github.com/goniszewski/grimoire - Hoarder https://github.com/hoarder-app/hoarder - LinkAce https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce/ - Readeck https://readeck.org/en/ - Shaarli https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli - Shirori https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori

Github isn't really the issue here, because it offers the tools to make this differentiation. Maintainers just have to use it. At Github, you can use issue templates that have a set of pre-defined questions and add labels to the created issues. Example from my own project: https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce/tree/main/.github/ISSUE_TEM... Users can only create bugs and have to answer some detailed questions, because I really don't want to deal with "XYZ is not working"-types of issues without any context or further information. Feature requests are redirected to the discussion forums first. It works very well for me.
In Open Source and Saying “No”
Do yourself a favor and use one of the below tools instead of browser based bookmarks 1. LinkAce: Save your bookmarks and organize them with tags and lists. The bookmarked page is gone? No worries. LinkAce automatically links it to archive.org page. 2. Shiori: Save bookmarks, archive them or use it like pocket. Like LinkAce you can organize your bookmarks using tags [1]: https://www.linkace.org/ | https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce/ [2]: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori
In Show HN: Keep your bookmarks clean and up-to-date
Finding and organizing digital content is super hard. I built LinkAce [0] for me to have a self-curated archive of articles, websites and videos found online. But this is just the tip of the iceberg and despite having my own tool that does exactly what I want, I find it most difficult to find content. You have like 50 sources in your RSS reader, 300 people you follow on social media sites and like a dozen of other possible sources for interesting content. But what I noticed: once you add a new source to your feed, chances are high that a) it doesn't really fit your interests and becomes noise, or b) it becomes a "famous" source and quality of the content stagnates over time as more and more low-quality content gets pushed into it. Personally, I don't see any chance that this will be solved in the near future, because the current state of

the web with walled gardens, propietary content formats and the unbelievable push for monetarization of content leads to more and more problems. [0]: https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce
