Linkwarden is very polished, has some neat features for bookmarks. Readeck is nice for quick read-it-later data. I use it a lot when I see an article I want to read, I’ll save it, and read it in the evening laying in bed with a bowl. Karakeep is for data preservation. Those are my top three.
No major difference its just what works for you. I used Hoarder (KaraKeep) in the early days but found I preferred the Linkwarden UI particularly on mobile so switched. But they’re both great.
Strangely I’ve found I tend not to use it for everyday bookmarks use (I’ve put those in a Joplin note). Instead I use Linkwarden for interesting stuff I might need at some point - long read articles or information for projects that I’ll be undertaking in the future, be that videos or written guides. You can set folders (topics) & tags for ease of retrieval.
There is no real reason why you can’t use Linkwarden for data preservation. I tend to keep things separate. Read it later articles go in Readeck, data I want to save goes in Karakeep, and important bookmarks like online accounts, business links, etc go in Linkwarden. They are pretty much interchangeable, it’s just my wonky way of keeping everthing separated.

Linkwarden says it’s for data preservation, too. What’s the difference between it and karakeep then?
