   Small #FediTip: if you encounter a message or thread that is in any way useful to you, bookmark it straight away.

   Since the fediverse doesn't have full text searches, it will be very difficult to find that particular thing again a few days later. Especially if you cannot remember who posted it or it has no hashtags.

   Periodically review your bookmarks to do something with them and you should be set.

     @JJBadger @asmodai Bookmarking a message is done differently in Apps and in the Web UI. If you are using the Web UI, I would suggest:

     - first, if you have not already done so, to go in the settings and activate the advanced (multicolumn) UI;

     - then, when you want to bookmark a message, click on it to have it displayed in the rightmost column. There, below the message , are the buttons to reply, boost, fav... and bookmark.

     @asmodai New here so this is probably a stupid question but now do you “bookmark” posts on Mastodon? Been looking and can’t find an option

     Note that when a thread is displayed, only the currently selected message (the one in a bigger font) has the bookmark button. If the message you want to bookmark does not have the button and is not in a bigger font, just click on it, that'll select it and you'll see the bookmark button then.
