How many bookmarks do you have? Do you use most of them? - Lemmy.World

I exported mine and searched for “http”. I got 1,882. Crazy. I only use about 20 regularly.

Apparently 4614. Several hundred are probably duplicates tho. I’ll bookmark interesting pages that I see at work (since I usually don’t have time to read them) and occasionally import them. Like others have said, that’s built up over many years. And in general I’ve tried to be more of a ‘bookmark it and close the tab already’ kind of person lately.

It’s all various levels of hoarding and to-dos I know I’ll never get to, but pretty often I do find myself enjoying browsing through my bookmarks and remembering neat stuff I saw in passing or articles I wanted to read. It’s also fun sorting them out to folders, even tho I know they’ll never be properly organized nor especially useful if they were.

Now that you mention it, I think part of the reason I ended up with so many is from trying to not keep tabs open. I also enjoy sorting them into folders. I don’t know why but it’s one of the more enjoyable things I’ve done on a computer in some time!
For sure! Something about making it more organized little by little is super satisfying, theraputic even.
