Have you also considered Linkhut as an alternative? [1] I like it a lot, but I'm addicted to Pinboard's autocompletion of tags, so I haven't made an ultimate switch (I'm also with Pinboard since ~2010-2011).

Would be great, indeed, to see a working instance of Webtag.

I’ll check it out, thanks! Ideally I’m looking for something that’s self-hosted and also supports archival, but maybe that’s too much to ask.
Curious, what do you mean by “autocompletion of tags”?
Just the typical thing: while adding a bookmark, when I start typing in the first letters of a tag (e.g. "hack" for "hackernews"), Pinboard is offering a drop-down menu with possible matches. Linkhut didn't have this last time I checked. It is maybe not a big issue, though -- possibly, relying on your own memory (not programmatically offered suggestions), your tagcloud may get less messy over time; you'll end up with a smaller amount of tags, which may be a good thing at times.

I think I like 'em both, Pinboard and Linkhut, though.
