@feditips I've been trying to figure out the difference between the buttons. I know the arrows means boost which reposts the toot and spreads it to more people. Then there's the favourite and bookmark button and I'm not sure what they do.

The star (favourite) is to make the author of the toot know that you appreciate/agree with them. Nobody else can see it.

When you bookmark a toot, you can find it afterwards in your bookmarks list. Really helpful when you see a good toot and want to save it for later.
