Della ✔️I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Not with Stupid; I AM Stupid.@djdellamorte Favouriting posts is a form of bookmarking stuff I like to which I can refer to at a later time.

Which makes me wonder, then, what the difference is between Mastodon's "Favorites" and "Bookmarks," since they have both.

Marcus@shuffler @peemee @djdellamorte Favorite is for you to tell the person who posted you liked it. Bookmark is for you to find it again later.

Different people can use the same tool differently, but it doesn't invalidate either of their uses. For me, I like to favorite many many toots, but only bookmark things I want to come back to. If I were to try and dig through favorites it would be a real pain in the toot! 😃
@mnw @shuffler @djdellamorte Right now I'm reviewing my Favourites, deleting some and reassigning others to Bookmarks.
