Probably because those are 2 different things?
But the usage heavily overlaps
@finalarbiter I agree but how hard can it be to just let me save articles in a freshrss 😭
how hard can it be
Pull requests welcome
portnull@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 hours ago Freshhrss with a configured share to a bookmark service like linkding? Is that what you are looking for?
This question is how new apps are born
Can someone please explain RSS to me? I just don’t get it and I’ve been using Firefox since it was Netscape Navigator 2.0
Explain how it works or what it is?
It’s just a feed you can follow (think of following someone on IG or twitter). You’ll get notified about the new content on that feed.
You can subscribe to all the feeds that are interesting to you and now you have a place to read the all and get notified when something new is out.
Same reason that there isn’t a product that combines a George Foreman Grill and a tablesaw.

Dunno if it is what you are looking for, but there is Linkwarden. It is primarily a bookmark/archiver (Saves a copy of the page), however, it has the ability to subscribe to feeds and will automatically bookmark anything in that feed.
I use https://karakeep.app/, which is a bookmark manager with an RSS feed option, but you need to add some auto tags or your feed will just become a mess - it saves ALL the links from RSS feeds you add.
Probably not an answer you’d like to see: I am using FeedFlow which supports bookmarking articles, having FreshRSS as the source of truth.
How would that work exactly? I bookmark many things that are not feeds.
@themachine Exactly, most of my bookmarks comes from rss but just for few which dont come from a feed I have to selfhost n manage a saparate app
AntonioAndolini@lemmy.world 8 hours ago Do you mean bookmarking web pages? Vivaldi browser has rss, email and the usual bookmarking functions.
Do you simply want to bookmark posts you discover via RSS or do you wanna be able to add arbitrary links to it too?
@shrek_is_love arbitrary links to it too.. I just want to be able to save any link in my rss reader
I bet there’s a bookmarking app that can output an RSS feed since they’re pretty simple. You could possibly even build a simple one. Where do you want to be able to save bookmarks from? And what RSS reader do you use?
I’m using Readwise Reader for years now and it’s the only service deserves it’s subscription for me. It’s not self hosted tho.
There was. TTRSS had both of these functionalities in its app. There was a ‘Read Later’ shortcut that put the article you wanted to save into the app via an Android shortcut. It was beautiful. The owner was a famously disgruntled (read: asshole) coder who finally gave the app up. The new coder does not include this functionality the revamped app.
FreshRSS + Readeck
You could run them in parallel, or fork both and smush em together
@lIlIlIlIlIlIl Do they work in sync? Like if I save something in FreshRss it shows up in Readeck?
Of course not, but you could of course fork both projects and kludge them together. FreshRSS is the feed provider, you could probably find an RSS client that saves links.
You mean like Firefox’s smart bookmarks or something else?
Surely that’s just FreshRSS with a plugin like Wallabag or Readeck. I use FreshRSS and Reaceck for precisely this. One-click bookmarking (and archiving of the page, too).
