Mastodon's own data export leaves your bookmarks as a bare list of links. Birdfeeder gives you the full posts. Sign in with your Mastodon account on any server and Birdfeeder imports every post you have bookmarked. Then open Settings and pick a format.
The download is free. It is free during the trial, and it stays free after the trial ends, even if you never pay. You do not need a card.

Each row has a link to the post, the author, the full text, the date it was posted, and any notes and tags you added in Birdfeeder. Open it in a spreadsheet, load it into another app, or just keep it as your own copy.
If a server shuts down or a post is deleted, your file still has the text. Birdfeeder keeps new bookmarks coming in during the 14-day trial. After that, a subscription keeps your archive up to date. Everything already saved stays yours to download.
