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 @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

@shirishag75 @Shudraism @obscurosaur @Gargron @stux mastodon.social always runs the latest version. The feature of bookmarking was developed in a fork called Glitch-soc that many instances use. If you look on http://fediverse.network you can see many of them that are running Glitch. its listed in the version number column. Mastodon mainline decided against the PR and didnt want to have bookmarking. So if you want it you have to use a different fork.

Are there any major issues with it?

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.
