After using #Mastodon for a little bit now, I decided to actually press the mysterious "Bookmark" button to see what it did. I was nervous, hovering the pointer over it for a moment, feeling my heart beating faster, and then.. "click". I did it! ... Suddenly... a portal opened up in front of me. These weird alien chicken like creatures came out of it, which then jumped out of the window, and the portal disappeared. Everything was silent again. I still don't know what that button is actually for.

@BeAware I massively appreciate the reply ๐Ÿ™‚ and one of the reasons I love the fedi is because people on here are so willing to assist others. So thank you. But, I did mean this as a little light humour to be honest, since it's not really used much - as favoriting is the exact same feature, but bookmarking doesn't notify the original poster, right? To be fair, I only started my Fediverse adventure this last summer, installing my own instance, and still quite new - so i'll give you a follow ๐Ÿ™‚

yeah that's the difference. If you want to keep track of the post without the original poster or anyone else being aware.

@BeAware Ah that's cool then.. otherwise someone got loads of notifications that I bookmarked their posts when I was testing that out ๐Ÿ‘€ lol! Thank you for the follow back as well, it's very appreciated ๐Ÿ™‚
