The &quot;bookmark&quot; feature (next to the star in the web UI) may be the least loved and mentioned feature in Mastodon, but it&#39;s darn useful. 1) Hm, I might want to read this later. -&gt; Bookmark 2) What a great picture! -&gt; Bookmark and Fav and Boost!!11 3) Do I want to follow this account? Let me take a look later. -&gt; Bookmark 4) I should boost this again sometime. -&gt; Bookmark Search (somewhat deliberately) sucks, making bookmarking essential to find stuff again. Use it liberally. :)

@eloquence@social.coop Also for your own stuff, the auto delete feature lets you set it to not delete anything you bookmarked. You can also do the same for stuff you boost or fav, so lot of flexibility there.

@eloquence@social.coop this a good stuff, thank you for sharing. Really really appreciate how helpful and kind everyone here has been, restores one’s faith in humanity a bit. And damn if I’ll take whatever hope and optimism and glimmer of decency I can get these days. Also thanks to @steveumstead@masto.ai for the boost for me to see this. Loving this platform

@eloquence@social.coop On iOS mobile there are three dots at the top right corner. Click that and “Bookmark” is an option.

@eloquence@social.coop For me: I want to show this to spouse who is off doing something and I will never find it again if I keep scrolling —>

@eloquence@social.coop Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV), and obviously has.

@eloquence@social.coop I am greatly missing this in the App and on Tusky, in particular, as there is no fulltext search on #Mastodon. (E.g. have been trying to find an older toot of mine, but keep failing. 😞)

@eloquence@social.coop Why would search deliberately suck? I see that as a weakness.
