Bookmarking toots: Thanks to the brilliant tips by obscurosaur, I have tried & tested two methods:
1. Reply to the toot with a unique hashtag. Remove the id of the tooter. If you remove id, the tooter can see the reply if they check, but will not get notifications.
2.Reply to the toot & DM to yourself. Remove the id of the tooter. The tooter will not get your reply.
3. Bookmarking with Android:
To quote Prasanna Venkadesh @prashere
"I use an android app called Fedilab which gives you the option to bookmark posts locally on your device."
4.Bookmarking in browser:
To quote Adnan @ahalam
"use the browser bookmark feature? Or a notes app? Or if you use a messenger, message these links to yourself. Personally I use Pocket for saving links."

Check the two tweets in the thread, and also read waakfest's comments on bookmarking.
But none of this is a replacement for the bookmarking, hope someone develops that feature. That is the only thing I seriously miss from the Bird Site.
@liaizon @shirishag75 @Shudraism @obscurosaur @Gargron @stux
Are there any major issues with it?
@BhavanaVarun @liaizon @shirishag75 @obscurosaur @Gargron @stux
Not sure you are referring to which iissues - As waakfest suggested I have signed up on Glitch fork, at Avoospace, my applcation is under review- will tell you how that works if they accept my request.
Refer this tweet, and Waakfest's other comments on my bookmarking thread for more clarity.

seems a db migration failure, somebody tried it out -

Mastodon.social is the original instance, not the largest one.
The japanese pawoo.net has 100,000 more users than mastodon.social.
@bull500 @shirishag75 @liaizon @Shudraism @obscurosaur @Gargron @stux
It just took off on its own. The next largest instance after mastodon.social is also Japanese. When the Japanese like something, the REALLY like it! Have you not met any Japanese? :-)

nice would have been nicer if it had server-end javascript, one could have analyzed lot more than just numbers and spot more trends and such. For e.g. which is the version which most instances are running at ? The uptime, it doesn't give any indication as to how the uptime is being indicated and so on and so forth. I'm sure somebody could make some interesting content and analysis from this table :)
@shirishag75 @bull500 @liaizon @Shudraism @obscurosaur @Gargron @stux
Poke around! That's the legacy one. I happen to like the sortable table.
Documentation and token for the API are in the menu at the very top of the page I linked.

API documentation for mastodon instances:
I am fortunate enough to have a couple of japanese-born friends here in canada and know a couple of friends who went back to japan.
Of course, I also know people who look japanese and have japanese names, but they are canadians actually.
