Sorting out the difference between favouriting and bookmarking on Mastodon:

⭐ Favourites are the equivalent of likes. When you favourite a post it lets the post's author know you liked it.

🔖 Bookmarks are a private way of keeping track of posts that you want to read later. When you bookmark a post, only you know about the bookmark. The author of the post does not know.
