At Reddit I can save a thread, at Mastodon I can bookmark a post or comment. How do I save a Kbin (or other) 'article', comment, etc? (kbin.social)

Yes, I know browser bookmarks exist. But there must be some native functionality that I keep just not noticing - right?

Yes but on reddit, upvotes puts something in your upvoted list and you can save selectively, which is a much better system for organization.

Boosts and upvotes have a slightly different functionality here that I do upvote and/or boost posts and comments differently, none of which is to add the post to my favorites. Even though it can be used that way for the same effect, it's a different use case.

What if I want to save a post I didn't want to boost or favorite? Should I not be able to save a comment I disagree with that I also downvoted?

That's a fair point that I didn't consider - saving something you've downvoted. It's not something I've ever done and it didn't even cross my mind. You're right that there isn't a specific save function, and the Favorites feature is limited in this case. Also the boosts button in my profile is broken (gives me an error) so I can't keep track of what I've boosted, currently.

Having a separate space that isn't tied to either of this would be more ideal. I've mostly been using upvotes sparingly, and boosts more liberally, in order to keep my Favorites clean. I understand boosting ties a thread publicly to my username so there may be things you'd want to upvote but not have associated with you to the general public, but in that case your Favorites would get messy.
