Small #FediTip: if you encounter a message or thread that is in any way useful to you, bookmark it straight away.

Since the fediverse doesn't have full text searches, it will be very difficult to find that particular thing again a few days later. Especially if you cannot remember who posted it or it has no hashtags.

Periodically review your bookmarks to do something with them and you should be set.

@asmodai New here so this is probably a stupid question but now do you “bookmark” posts on Mastodon? Been looking and can’t find an option

@JJBadger Not stupid at all, I'm afraid it very much depends on your client though.

On Tusky (Android), every post has a bookmark icon underneath it (🔖). Similarly with the Mastodon advanced web UI.

What are you using?

@asmodai Ah I see. I’m using the Mastodon app on iOS.

@asmodai @JJBadger butting in as a fellow iOS user. I use the Metatext app alongside the mastodon app. I keep the official app for ease of editing my profile on mobile. But MT is what I use for primary. You can bookmark just like on Twitter by hitting the three dots on a toot.

@asmodai @graves Thanks. Metatext is definitely easier to use and has more features (except for the editing profile which I just tried lol - will take your advice and keep the official app for that).

@asmodai @JJBadger no problem!! I know there’s lots of other apps out there but so far this combo and then desktop when I’m at my pc has been working quite well!
