cool, but I don't see the point of it being federated. My bookmarks are just stuff I might want to see again, probably not very interesting to anyone else

so I can hardly see the benefit of them going off and propagating throughout the entire known universe

It's social bookmarking, likely inspired by Delicious.

Sometimes you may find links you think others might be interested in but don't think they're so interesting that it's worth submitting to HN or posting on your social media. But maybe it's just not for you, and that's fine too.

It is possible to disable federation if you want so. Just untick the corresponding checkbox
