If you want to find that post, you better know who wrote it, so you can visit their account and scroll through their feed to locate it. If that person is a busy tweeter, you can be sure it might take some time to track it down. Also: The best Twitter alternatives There has to be a better way. There is. And fortunately, for those who are migrating away from Twitter to Mastodon, that more efficient method has an analogous feature on both platforms. I’m talking about post bookmarks. What is this feature? It’s very much like the bookmarks you use on your web browser – a convenient method of saving a post so you can easily refer to it later. You may not have used the bookmark feature on Twitter, but Mastodon is different. Also: How to delete your Twitter account and protect your data, too Because you might be on a Mastodon server dedicated to a specific topic (such as Fosstodon is to open-source), the chances are far greater that you’ll find far more posts that are relevant to your interests. That means you’ll probably want to save those posts for later reference. Trust me when I say that you’ll be glad you started using the feature when you did. Given the nature of Mastodon, I’ve found plenty of posts that I wanted to save for future reference – far more than I ever did on Twitter. Let me show you how easy it is.
