A quick Mastodon usage tip.
If you're scrolling along and see a post that - for any reason whatever - you suspect you might want to find again, bookmark it right then.
It's taken me ages to realise this is the best thing to do, even if you never come back to it.
This is because Mastodon - via web or an app - is quite poor at letting you later search your own feed for "that thing I saw".
But it will be in your bookmark list - at least long enough - most of the time.
