PammyStarr 
✍️I like how Mastodon breaks social media. A like button is the secret sauce that controls the masses. But on Mastodon, the like button is just a “send my complements to the chef.” It serves no other purpose.
danbri@pammystarr can’t we use it to find stuff we’ve liked?
@danbri you search hashtags to find things you like.
@pammystarr but what’s the hashtag for all the stuff I have liked / favourited here? they have nothing in common consistently.
@danbri there is always more stuff you’ll like. Follow people and you’ll see some of what their friends posts.
@pammystarr i think we are talking past each other. I just want a consistent way to find eg your post on Likes that I liked, in say a couple years time (unless you deleted it).
@danbri I believe if you favorited my post you’ll always have it. But you can’t search a string of words to find it wherever it is on Mastodon.
Irongeek (he/him)@danbri @pammystarr I used to have exactly this problem with bird site - “favourite” sounds like a list of things to come back to. I am sure you could pull out a list of everything you’ve favourited (is there a client app that does that?) but if used in the conventional (compliments to the chef) way, this could be a very long list.
@danbri @pammystarr but fundamentally, what I love about being on here is that you can describe exactly what effect your interactions have - as opposed to other sites where an interaction is a bit of data to be fed into an algorithm to do ‘stuff’
