Pinboard

I know there's a lot of attention right now to Twitter's implosion and possible alternative sites,but I'm actually a little more worried about pinboard going down--there's a discussion of this here.

I have backed up my bookmarks, of course, but are there any alternative social networking bookmark places? I do get a ton of my reading recs from pinboard, either my own network or just generally searching the site, and that's the part I'd really hate to lose. Also, I don't even know a lot of people in my network; I just followed them because they bookmark cool stuff, and wouldn't really know how to find them again if pinboard goes down.

I'm making this post mostly so I can pin it; if anyone in my network wants to leave a comment for how to find you in the future (or DM me), or has suggestions about where to migrate in the event that pinboard collapses, I'd appreciate it!

Edited to add:

A couple suggestions for alternate sites: raindrop.io, which is bookmarking, not social.

Also, the current first comment here talks about someone developing a new social bookmarking site. (Direct link in case the comments change significantly: https://ln.ht/ ).

LATER EDIT:
Here's a pretty good review comparing pinboard to raindrop.io: https://dsalo.info/pinboard-vs-raindrop-two-bookmark-apps-enter/

Imzy is a new threaded discussion board--I haven't really done much exploring there, but someone on ffa was offering free invitations and I thought I would namesquat in the event that fandom happens to move in that direction. I now have ten nine (they keep adding more as you give them out, apparently) invitations, if anyone wants one. [Please leave the email address I should direct it to if you want one!]
