⭐ Favouriting - This lets the post's creator know you enjoyed their post. It's the equivalent of a like.
🔁 Boosting - This shares the post with everyone who follows you, and adds the post to your profile's timeline. It's the equivalent of a re-tweet.
🔖 Bookmarks - This adds the post to your private bookmarks list, without telling anyone you've done this.
