@neil Hmm, must give bookmarking a try if it shows follow ups (immediate replies or all descendants?). Thanks for that tip.

@neil

Bookmarking does nothing to the flow of the post. It just lets you go back and see the post (and all that flowed to/from it) later, and that would be hard to do without bookmark because Mastodon has no default search.
