Bookmark vs. Star Icon
Now let’s explore another thing before wrapping up because you might find it confusing when you look at another icon that is unique to Mastodon, the Star icon. So let’s see what is the difference between a Bookmark and Star Icon.
So the Star icon is used just the way you use the thumbs-up and heart icons on other social media platforms. As you know, the number of hearts and thumbs up are counted as ‘Likes’ on social media platforms; similarly, the number of stars are also counted as likes, just that in Mastodon’s terminology, you call it favorites. So when someone hits the star icon on your post, this means they liked it.
On the other hand, bookmarking a post means saving the post. So when someone bookmarks your post, that means they are not just liking your post but are also saving it in the bookmarks for their future reference, which clearly indicates that your post is useful for them. So it depends on you what you really swear by, stars or bookmarks. Well, for me, Stars are temporary, and bookmarks are eternal because you hardly check them again once they are marked. Haha! Bad joke, I know.
