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.

@asmodai You can also use those to create a specific list for that, especially useful if you want to bookmark things for a variety of different purposes.

@killyourfm Can you elaborate? Currently on Tusky and that only has bookmarks without any lists or categories. Haven't checked the advanced web view yet if that offers more.All these different UIs to the fediverse, they all support a different set of features.

@asmodai It should be on your advanced web view (if I"m not mistaken, that's a universal web view feature). I'm surprised Tusky doesn't have that.

@killyourfm Neither does the Mastodon advanced web view it seems. All I have here on the web and via Tusky is a singular bookmark, a toggle if you will. No additional functionality.Definitely sounds like a useful feature, especially when you start to be here longer and longer.It was also why I mentioned to periodically go through the bookmarks, otherwise they might just collect dust. 😅

@asmodai You don't see this in your web view? Try clicking the hamburger/app menu above the search box, on the web browser view.

@killyourfm I think we might have landed on two different topics?I was explicitly talking about bookmarks. Everything I know and have clicked around show that bookmarks are a toggle on a message, that then show up under the Bookmarks entry in that screenshot you showed.Judging from the highlight of your screenshot you are talking about Lists where you add accounts.As far as I know, there is no overlap between the two functionalities.

@asmodai Oh my god, my mistake. I thought that lists could simply collect and organize various things, not just organize people's accounts.

@killyourfm Haha, no worries! It would have been awesome to discover I totally missed a functionality here. Also since the UI of various applications expose different feature sets of the fediverse, it's kind of inevitable.

@killyourfm @asmodai I hadn't thought of that, thanks for the tip!

@pikminlover @asmodai Sorry, that might not work as I realized that lists are for accounts and not messages.Wish there was a way to organize bookmarks like that!

@killyourfm @asmodai I think you’re also thinking of pinning columns. I have my bookmarks pinned as a column in the web view so I have quick access to them. It’s very useful!
