Manage things "To be Read" (lemmy.ml)

I am looking for a tool/workflow, with which I can manage a collection of all the stuff I see on the internet and elsewhere, that they are worth reading at a time in one place.

This includes:

blog articles I randomly find on the internet
social media posts
news articles from RSS feeds
books (pdf,epub,...)
wikipedia articles
topics I want to do further research on
aso...

A lot of these things are bookmarks, I know that. I tried to manage my "ToBeRead" list in bookmarks before, but it didnt work out for me, because some things simply aren't URLs, that can be bookmarked (e.g. PDFs, just names of research topics).

Besides that, longer threads on mastodon/lemmy e.g. can be easily bookmarked in the app itself, but than you start to manage multiple lists in multiple locations, which I want to avoid.

I am running my own Nextcloud instance and would like to also sync this stuff across devices with it.

I figured out (while using obsidian) that my brain works better when I dont have to worry about where to put things, but just tag them with topics, by relevance, e.g. So tags and the option to filter them would be nice!

Thanks beforehand :)

Edit: Doimg this with Nextcloud Deck, or synching an Obsidian Vault with Nextcloud came up to my mind, but I couldn't come up with an idea for a conveniant workflow, but maybe it's easier than I think?

I use Zotero for this. Used to use it as purely a reference manager for scientific papers, but started storing all kinds of stuff for archiving or later reading. My workflow is getting all news/articles I might want to read from RSS, and add to Zotero what I want to keep.

With the browser plugin you can store snapshots as well, so you can preserve it if it changes or is taken down. Not sure how a mobile experience would be as I only filter RSS-items on my phone, but no reading.

You can use file sync through a paid subscription or use youe own WebDAV server for it (I will be moving to this). Other than that, it is a database and folder with files, so you can probably use SyncThing or store it directly in Nextcloud also I would think.

I am a folder-person, but it also supports tags so you have flexibility in how you organize.
