Here you trying to create a Bookmark object based on request.user , but request.user is a SimpleLazyObject , so we can get a more secure user object by :

from django.contrib import auth

current_user = auth.get_user(request)

and further your query should be

bookmark, created = Bookmark.objects.get_or_create(
                    user=current_user,
                    link=link
                    )
