Can anyone comment on shaarli vs wallabag? Wallabag seems designed to mimic Pocket more - but I'm only basing this on a quick glance. Can anyone cite any pros/cons of each platform? For example is one better to host on a smaller vps? (My use-case is really minimal, just personal bookmarking, not a team or anything like that.)

I don't know about Shaarli, but yes, Wallabag is a read it later service, not a bookmarking one. You can self-host or use a hosted version here (that's what I do) : https://framabag.org/ https://framabag.org/

I've been using both for a while. Shaarli is a tool to bookmark, tag, comment, publish on links you want to keep. Wallabag is a tool to save content to read later, it makes a local copy of the relevant content which it displays with usually improved readability and save content from linkrot, once read you can either save it, push it to your shaarli or delete it. I chose to self host both on a shared webserver and they require very little effort for installation and maintenance. Some link are not wallabag friendly and once in a while it will fail to retrieve content, there's a button to report the link to wallabag dev so they can improve the situation and a button to go to the original link destination. I never used pocket, this is a third party closed source service which is the opposite way of how internet is supposed to be done. If you cannot afford or do not want a shared hosting, you can host this locally in a virtual machine.
