I hadn't seen Botize before. In structure and capabilities, it looks a lot more promising to me than either IFTTT or Zapier (for instance, it supports maintaining lists and adding/selecting data from them), except that half the site seems to be localized to Spanish and doesn't seem to have an option anywhere to change the site language.

I think it's just some fellow in Spain who's about to have a really busy week.

If memory serves that's pretty much how pinboard.in got launched into the air a few years back, so it'd certainly be poetic. Nice of you to pass it on :)

Tried migrating my IFTTT recipes to Zapier and hit a roadblock on the very first one -- bookmarking posts I have saved in Reddit.

Botize apparently has no Reddit integration.

There's a definite opportunity here. I'd even pay more money for Pinboard (on top of the archival fee) for more Pinboard-specific integrations for things like this. It is too convenient.

The RSS feed for saved posts is https://www.reddit.com/user/{{ username }}/saved/.rss

Thank you! I have RSS feeds set to private by default, so I assumed this wouldn't work. However, I did discover "Private RSS feeds" in the reddit preferences. I can likely feed these into Zapier.

You can also use .json (for almost every Reddit URL, actually!)

You can indeed, I have done this to replicate the main thing I was using ifttt for (saving 'saved' links on reddit to Pinboard.)

Might want to check out https://github.com/cantino/huginn as well.
