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.

@Shudraism @shirishag75 @obscurosaur @Gargron @stux just try signing up for an account on a glitch instance and you will have bookmarking
@liaizon @Shudraism @obscurosaur @Gargron @stux it's possible that Eugen only follows upstream which would make sense as it's the largest instance. So perhaps if upstream i.e. https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon would have that feature in its roadmap (there probably is a PR somewhere) then we might get it as mastodon is updated . I have no idea atm as to how much time does Eugen wait before installing a stable update. Smaller instances may not have such issues and hence can roll out faster. 1/n

@liaizon @Shudraism @obscurosaur @Gargron @stux and perhaps even use experimental features etc. Will have to wait and see.
