If you would like to keep all your data private, self hosting is a good option.

That's the exact opposite of being a spiritual successor to Delicious.

It wasn't about hoarding personal data and keeping it secret. It was about sharing it publicly, like Twitter, and people following each other based on either personal connection or just a shared interest graph.

FWIW, this sort of thing (Delicious-like) always struck me as a good use case for decentralization.

the big value of delicious was the central aggregation, which becomes difficult in a decentralized manner

that said, i always wanted to split delicious up into "islands" of ~50k users or so, and allow each island determine it's own local rules. and if you didn't like your island, you could go elsewhere. yahoo wouldn't entertain this idea at the time.... this was before subreddits happened but the success of subreddits suggests to me that i was directionally correct

How would the popular page work, then (either globally or per tag)?

That was one of the biggest things I got out of Delicious… basically Reddit without the comments.

Search from a webring of Delicious sites.

That's a good question. I'm not sure I have a good answer. My guess is it would maybe vary a bit from user to user?

My favourite self hosted option so far because it's fairly minimal but does offline archiving:

- Shiori (https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori)

Been using this for years, and it works well for me.

I would also add:

- archivebox (https://archivebox.io/)

I am a fan of Wallabag, I pay for their hosted service. I think I did the 9€ for one year which seemed like a good deal to me.
